Iran States Any US‑Iran War Settlement Must Include Israeli Withdrawal from Lebanon

Iranian officials outlined conditions for ending hostilities with the United States. They said a settlement must compel Israel to withdraw from Lebanon. The demand reflects Tehran's stance on regional security. Iran and the US have been in indirect talks over conflict issues. Israel currently maintains a military presence in Lebanon. Tehran argues the presence fuels instability. The condition could shape future diplomatic negotiations. Observers note the proposal adds complexity to any peace effort.
