Iran Says Israel’s Lebanon Offensive Threatens Any Future Peace Talks

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has strongly condemned Israel’s recent military actions in Lebanon, calling them a violation of an existing ceasefire agreement.

In a post on social media, Pezeshkian said, “Israel’s renewed incursion into Lebanon is a blatant violation of the initial ceasefire agreement.

The Iranian president also issued a strong warning of support for Lebanon, stating, “Our fingers remain on the trigger. Iran will never abandon its Lebanese sisters and brothers."

The continuation of these aggressions will render negotiations meaningless;"
