DUBAI, June 15 (Reuters) - Lebanon is an integral part of the agreement to end the war with the U.S., Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson said on Monday, adding that the draft memorandum mentions Lebanon thrice as it calls for an end to war on all fronts, as well as the respect of its sovereignty and its territorial integrity.

Esmaeil Baghaei said diplomatic visits to regional countries are on the agenda for Tehran, before the signing of the agreement due on Friday in Geneva, Switzerland.

“Regarding the manner and mechanism of signing the memorandum of understanding, a final decision will be made today and tomorrow, and its results will be officially announced,” he added.
