Sep 20, 2024

Tehran [Iran], September 20: Iran has evacuated its ambassador out of Lebanon and 95 other patients following injuries sustained in pager explosions, officials said.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi visited the injured diplomat, Mojtaba Amani, at a hospital in Tehran on Thursday.
Araghchi consulted with doctors about his condition. State media initially reported that Amani suffered a "slight injury." On Wednesday, Iran flew 95 victims out of Lebanon. Most had sustained injuries to their hands and eyes.
The Lebanese Hezbollah militia, which was the target of the explosions, is Iran's most important non-state ally. After hundreds of pagers used by the Hezbollah militia simultaneously exploded on Tuesday, a second wave of communication devices - this time walkie-talkies - blew up on Wednesday.
