MoU includes mechanism for Israeli ceasefire violations in Lebanon, says Iranian official

MoU includes mechanism for Israeli ceasefire violations in Lebanon, says Iranian official Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi said that the Memorandum of Understanding between Iran and the US includes a provision for dealing with possible ceasefire violations in Lebanon by Israel. The US accepted this mechanism to ensure an end to regional hostilities, including in Lebanon, the ministry announced in comments carried by Iran’s IRNA news agency. Iranian media also reported that Lebanon’s parliament speaker Nabih Berri spoke to his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf to discuss the necessity for the international community to compel Israel to end its military campaign in Lebanon and withdraw from its territories. This follows Trump’s earlier comments that he had warned Netanyahu to be “more responsible with respect to Lebanon” and said he “didn’t like” how they had acted in the region.
