After Israeli satellite USA cut off all military aid to Lebanon to punish it for standing up to Israeli forces, Iran offered to provide Lebanon with whatever aid the U.S. had previously committed to provide.

The U.S.A. immediately objected, claiming that the receipt of such (Iranian) aid would "compromise Lebanon's sovereignty."

Does it ever get more surreal than this?
