Tehran has cautioned against politicizing the devastating blast in Beirut, arguing that Washington should drop sanctions on Lebanon if it is serious about helping the nation recover from the catastrophe.
“If America is honest about its assistance offer to Lebanon, they should lift sanctions [against it],” Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abbas Mousavi said on Monday during a news conference.

Trump should stay out of the way and let France take the lead on this.

So, the US should be compassionate suddenly to a nation run by corrupt incompetents, involved in a sectarian civil war for decades, that is often divided into areas controlled by terrorist groups like street gangs defending their turf? Why should the US change policy just because all that ended in a disaster of their own making?

why are we sanctioning a country on it's knees? WTF is wrong with the USA (and I include Trump )
that we think we can just sanction the damn world?
Figures. There's nothing original about fascism.Israel lobby group deletes call to blackmail Lebanon using aid
Israel knows that while it can inflict untold suffering, it would pay a very heavy price for such an attack – precisely because of Hizballah’s deterrent capability.
So Israel, through its lobby, has been trying to achieve politically what it cannot do on the battlefield: defeat Hizballah.
Given the large number of attacks Israel has launched against Lebanon since the 1950s – including repeated attacks on Beirut airport and the many car bombs for which it was responsible since the 1970s – it is not surprising that many in the region and in Lebanon suspect Israel had a hand in last week’s catastrophe.
But even if Israel did not have any role in detonating the huge stock of ammonium nitrate warehoused at Beirut port, the explosion presents an opportunity that Israel and its allies are eager not to waste.
