Iran's cultural advisor in Lebanon, Mohammad Reza Mortazavi, warned Israel on Tuesday that Iran will not abandon Lebanon, and called on Israel to leave Lebanese territory. Mortazavi said Lebanon will be a primary clause in any future negotiations, according to Kan 11.
Iran's cultural advisor in Lebanon, Mohammad Reza Mortazavi, issued a fresh warning to Israel on Tuesday, stating that Iran 'will not abandon Lebanon alone' and calling on Israel to withdraw from what he described as 'occupied Lebanese lands.' Mortazavi, as reported by Kan 11, emphasized that Lebanon would be a primary and central clause in any future negotiations. The warning echoes a series of escalating Iranian demands over the past two weeks linking any diplomatic progress with the U.S. or Israel to a full Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon. As The Zioneer has reported, senior Iranian officials — including the Foreign Minister, the Parliament Speaker, and a senior negotiator — have all conditioned talks on an IDF pullout. The current statement, from a cultural official rather than a military or diplomatic figure, reinforces the Iranian line but does not introduce a new operational threat. It remains unverified whether this represents an official shift in Tehran's negotiating posture or a reiteration of established policy.
