Iran has requested guarantees that 'hostile actions in Lebanon' will end before it resumes talks, i24NEWS reported Friday. The demand comes amid ongoing Israeli operations in southern Lebanon, where the IDF confirmed the deaths of four soldiers including Lt. Col. Dor Ben Simhon, commander of the 52nd Battalion, who fell when their tank was struck. As The Zioneer reported earlier Friday, President Herzog mourned the fallen commander and three crew members. Separately, a reserve officer was seriously wounded and four NCOs sustained light injuries in another incident. The scheduled talks between the US and Iran will not take place today, according to the report. The Iranian precondition appears to link the diplomatic track to the security situation on the Israel-Lebanon border, where ceasefire violations have continued despite the declared truce.
