Iran says it won’t interfere in Lebanon-Israel border talks
Tehran will still need to sign off on deal if it happens; Iran and Sudan; Netanyahu is a prisoner of hostage talks; US rethinks its force posture in Syria and Iraq; and a US envoy says Israel must be ‘absolutely sure’ in Gaza military operations.
Iranian foreign minister calls cease-fire 'domestic thing for Lebanese'
If the Biden administration were able to broker a deal on the Israel-Lebanon border in line with a UN cease-fire resolution from 2006, Iran would not necessarily object.
“It is a domestic thing for Lebanese," Iran Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told Al-Monitor. "We are not going to have any kind of interference in their internal affairs."
Tensions on the Israel-Lebanon border have flared amid the Israel-Hamas war. Amos Hochstein, a senior adviser to President Joe Biden on energy and investment, has been shuttling between Beirut and Jerusalem seeking to close a deal that could help to de-escalate things.
