Hezbollah confident any US-Iran deal will include Lebanon, politician says

Hezbollah expressed confidence that Lebanon will be part of any agreement reached between Iran and the United States, a leading Hezbollah politician stated Friday. Hassan Fadlallah, a Hezbollah politician, said the group has "complete confidence in the Islamic Republic" to insist on Lebanon's inclusion in a deal.

“

If the agreement happens, we have complete confidence in the Islamic Republic ... we have confidence that it will insist on any agreement including the file of Lebanon

Hezbollah, founded by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, entered the regional conflict in support of Tehran on March 2. Iranian officials have consistently demanded an end to the fighting in Lebanon as a condition for any broader agreement with the U.S.

A Western source indicated that a memorandum between the U.S. and Iran to cease hostilities in the Gulf could be signed as early as Sunday. The source noted that the memorandum's language is still being finalized, with Iran maintaining its stance that the deal must also end the fighting in Lebanon.

made great sacrifices

Last week, Mohsen Rezaei, an adviser to Iran's supreme leader, stated that Lebanon "will be an inseparable part of any agreement and any ceasefire." This sentiment was reported by the IRGC's semi-official Mehr news agency. The war in Lebanon has persisted despite several U.S.-announced ceasefires, with the U.S. mediating talks between Lebanese and Israeli governments. Hezbollah is not a participant in these talks and has called for the Lebanese government to withdraw from the process. The group previously rejected a U.S.-backed plan requiring it to cease fire and withdraw its fighters from southern Lebanon.
