Israel continued to strike Lebanon despite warnings from the United States The Islamic Republic, speaking through its Minister of Foreign Affairs, Abbas Araghchi, declared that the memorandum of understanding with the United States would only hold on the condition that the ceasefire also applies to Lebanon. Hezbollah's media relations office claims that the armed group received assurances from its Iranian ally that it will demand the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Lebanon during the next phase of negotiations with the United States.

The position of the Islamic Republic remains unchanged regarding Lebanon, but mostly regarding Hezbollah For the Islamic Republic, Lebanon and Iranian soil constitute one and the same front.

Thus, Araghchi indicates that the Iranian government will not abandon its ally Hezbollah and, moreover, it will not abandon its influence in Lebanon. The Iranian government also considered that the memorandum of understanding provides for the end of the Israeli occupation of Lebanon ; an element that was entirely rejected by the Israeli administration. #Iran
