In a surprise move, Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri today resigned from his post during a trip to Saudi Arabia.
The resignation plunged the country into uncertainty amid heightened regional tensions.
In a televised address from Riyadh, Hariri fired a vicious tirade against Iran and the Lebanese Hezbollah group for what he said was their meddling in Arab affairs.
Hariri was appointed Prime Minister in late 2016 and headed a 30-member national unity cabinet that included the Shiite militant Hezbollah.
