Iran's Foreign Minister States War Will Not End Without Lebanon's Resolution

Tehran. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said that the war between America-Israel and Iran will not end completely until it is resolved in Lebanon. In an interview with Arab media Al Mayadeen, Araghchi clarified Iran's stance on a ceasefire, saying, 'Our stance on ceasefire is the same, and our stance on ending the war is also the same.' According to him, any ceasefire agreement with Iran must also include the situation in Lebanon.

Iran has previously stated that a ceasefire without the inclusion of Lebanon is unacceptable. According to analysts, this stance could complicate the ongoing diplomatic talks between America and Iran. Araghchi also said that ending the war means the Israeli army must withdraw from Lebanon. Israel has been conducting military operations against Iran-backed Hezbollah since early March.

On Wednesday, an agreement was reached between Israel and Lebanon to implement a ceasefire. According to the agreement, Hezbollah must stop attacks and withdraw its fighters from southern Lebanon. Araghchi said that all parties, especially Hezbollah, must participate in the national dialogue process to resolve Lebanon's internal problems. He stated that Hezbollah is an integral part of Lebanon's reality and the world community must accept it.

According to him, although Israel has tried to weaken Hezbollah and assassinate its leaders, it has only made the organization stronger. Araghchi also said that Iran is ready to help Lebanon rebuild after the war ends. He said, 'We hope that the reconstruction work will begin after the war ends. The people and government of Iran will never forget their friends in Lebanon. We will make every effort to help the Lebanese people.'

However, Israel considers Hezbollah a threat to its national security. According to many analysts, Israel is likely to continue its efforts to disarm Hezbollah in the future.
