Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baqaei said Monday that a new mechanism has been established, with mediators present, to monitor the ceasefire in Lebanon. Baqaei stated that Tehran had previously expressed concerns about violations by the other side, particularly continued breaches by the Zionist regime.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baqaei announced on Monday a new monitoring mechanism for the Lebanon ceasefire, involving mediators. Speaking on Monday morning, Baqaei said the mechanism was created to supervise the cessation of hostilities and the end of the war in Lebanon, citing Iranian concerns about violations by Israel.
The announcement comes amid a flurry of diplomatic activity around the US-Iran talks mediated by Qatar and Pakistan. Earlier on Monday, The Zioneer reported that Iran had conditioned a final agreement with the US on a halt to hostilities in Lebanon, quoting Baqaei. On Sunday, Iran said ongoing talks focused on monitoring implementation of a memorandum of understanding, with a final deal conditional on ending the Lebanon war.
The claim has not been independently verified by Israeli or Western officials. It is based on a single Iranian official statement.
