A diplomatic source told CNN that Iran has requested guarantees that fighting in Lebanon will end in accordance with the framework established in a signed agreement. The source said mediators are working to resolve the issue, though details of the agreement's specifics—including whether its terms cover all fronts or are limited to Lebanon—remain unclear.
The request follows weeks of Iranian statements linking a cessation of hostilities on one front to a comprehensive regional settlement, and comes amid continued IDF operations in southern Lebanon. The Zioneer has reported extensively on Tehran's insistence that any deal involving the United States must include explicit guarantees for Lebanon's security and territorial integrity, a position Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has repeated in recent days.
The source spoke on condition of anonymity, and the report relies on a single diplomatic channel. The nature of the "signed agreement" referenced—whether a bilateral Iran-US memorandum or a separate Lebanon-focused arrangement—has not been independently confirmed.
