Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri has unexpectedly resigned during a trip to Saudi Arabia, saying his life was in danger. <br/><br/>In a televised address from Riyadh last night, Hariri said he feared an assassination plot and accused Iran of meddling in the region. <br/><br/>He said Iran controls the region and the decision-making in both Syria and Iraq and that Tehran will lose in its interventions in the internal affairs of Arab countries. <br/><br/>Lebanese President Michel Aoun confirmed he had received a phone call from Hariri about stepping down. Aoun's office said he would wait for the Prime Minister to return to Beirut to discuss the circumstances of his resignation.<br/><br/>In response, Iran dismissed the reports, accusing the US and Saudi Arabia of orchestrating the resignation. Iranian Foreign Ministry official Hossein Sheikholeslam told the Fars News Agency that Hariri's resignation was coordinated with US President Donald Trump and Saudi Arabia's Mohammad bin Salman.'
