Lebanon's Al-Akhbar newspaper, identified with Hezbollah, reported Friday that Iran received final American consent for Lebanon to be part of a comprehensive regional agreement. The deal reportedly includes a full cessation of military operations and a timetable for a swift Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, according to the unverified report in Arabic.
The Friday report from Al-Akhbar, a Beirut-based daily with close ties to Hezbollah, claims that US-Iran negotiations have advanced to include a firm American commitment that any emerging deal will cover Lebanon. This follows an earlier Al-Akhbar report from the same morning, as The Zioneer covered at 08:42, stating that Doha talks had made 'significant progress' toward a regional framework. The latest dispatch adds the claim that US consent is now final and that Qatar facilitated a solution for releasing frozen Iranian funds. According to the report, President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke about the matter, though no official Israeli or US confirmation has been issued. The Hezbollah-affiliated source has a pattern of leaking negotiating positions, and the details — a swift Israeli withdrawal, the handling of frozen funds — remain unverified by independent or official channels.
