01 · THE DISPATCH

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Qalibaf spoke by phone Sunday with his Lebanese counterpart, Nabih Berri, according to Iranian reports. Berri, a longtime figure in Lebanese politics and a close ally of Hezbollah, has been a central intermediary in previous ceasefire efforts between Israel and the Iran-backed organization. The content of this call was not disclosed. The conversation comes amid a series of diplomatic contacts involving Lebanon, Iran, and the United States over the future of the ceasefire with Israel and the status of Hezbollah's arms. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Berri conveyed Hezbollah's willingness for a full ceasefire to the U.S. ambassador on June 9 and later reiterated the commitment to President Trump on June 18. The phone call with Qalibaf, a high-ranking Iranian political figure, signals ongoing coordination between Tehran and its proxies in Lebanon, although no new policy direction or public demand has emerged from the call at this stage.
