Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated Tuesday evening that negotiations will begin on Saturday, as reported by i24NEWS. Araghchi's announcement follows his earlier statement Tuesday morning that a Lebanon ceasefire would begin Friday, as The Zioneer reported at 10:40 Jerusalem. The latest timeline shift suggests ongoing diplomatic movement around the Israel-Lebanon front, though no Israeli or Lebanese official has confirmed the Saturday start date.
Separately, the IDF said it thwarted a series of Hezbollah threats in southern Lebanon and repelled anti-tank missile and rocket fire. The military has maintained a steady operational tempo against Hezbollah infrastructure and personnel along the border since the ceasefire began, as The Zioneer has documented in multiple previous bulletins covering IDF strikes on dozens of targets and the elimination of operatives.
Local Lebanese media reported at least four killed in a strike earlier Tuesday, as The Zioneer noted at 17:59 Jerusalem. The report remains unconfirmed by the IDF. Araghchi's remarks and the ongoing military activity indicate that diplomatic and military tracks continue in parallel, with no final resolution publicly in sight.
