US and Iran mediators announce Lebanon de-confliction mechanism

US and Iran mediators announce Lebanon de-confliction mechanism A joint statement issued by the mediators of the US-Iran negotiations said the parties had agreed to establish a de-confliction cell aimed at supporting the implementation of the memorandum of understanding's provisions on Lebanon.

According to the statement, the mechanism will involve representatives of the United States, Iran and the Lebanese government, with mediation support from the countries facilitating the talks.

The statement said the de-confliction cell would work "to ensure the adherence of the termination of military operations in Lebanon as per the MoU".

The move creates a direct channel for addressing incidents, reducing the risk of escalation and monitoring compliance with commitments to end hostilities in Lebanon, an issue that has emerged as one of the most sensitive elements of the broader US-Iran agreement.
