Iran tells Hezbollah no US talks without comprehensive ceasefire in Lebanon

Iran has conveyed to Hezbollah that it will not proceed with negotiations involving the United States unless a comprehensive ceasefire is established in Lebanon, according to Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah.

This stance from Iran emerges amidst escalating tensions and conflict in southern Lebanon. Overnight into Friday, Israeli military forces conducted strikes on targets across the region, while Hezbollah reported intense fighting. These actions threaten a fragile potential agreement aimed at ending the ongoing hostilities between Iran and the United States.

Lebanese media reported that at least 18 people were killed in the Israeli strikes. Israel, in turn, stated that four of its soldiers died and vowed to retaliate heavily against Hezbollah. The situation remains volatile, with the diplomatic path appearing increasingly precarious due to the ongoing violence.
