The National Liberal Party on Friday criticized Iran's vice president for offering to swap Lebanon's stability for western approval of Tehran's nuclear program. "This exposes involvement by his revolution and its guards in Lebanon's affairs and changing it into an arena and a hostage subject to blackmail," the NLP said in a statement after the weekly meeting of its leadership under chairman Dory Chamoun. It also criticized Hizbullah for breaching commitments made in line with the Doha Accord and for threatening to use its weapons to force other factions adopt decisions accepted by it. Such threats are "enough to condemn the weapons, be they divine or not, and are enough to spark a Lebanese uprising against your threats," the statement concluded.
