Iran says no peace talks with US unless Lebanon issue resolved - Fars
With attacks on Lebanon ongoing, Iran considers negotiations “strategically meaningless and futile," a source cited by the IRGC-affiliated Fars News Agency said, ahead of peace talks slated for Friday in Pakistan.
“The issue of Lebanon and a ceasefire in that country are a firm and non-negotiable precondition of the Islamic Republic of Iran for entering any new negotiation process," the source was quoted as saying.
The source added that Tehran had refused to accept a ceasefire until the United States, including President Donald Trump, formally acknowledged the overall framework of a proposed 10-point package.
The source emphasized that senior officials of the Islamic Republic are in full agreement on the issue, signaling a unified and coordinated stance from Tehran.
According to the source, Tehran's message is clear: unless the situation in Lebanon is resolved, there will be no negotiations.
