An Iranian source says negotiations with the United States will not resume as long as Israeli forces do not withdraw from Lebanon, according to a single-source report. The statement reiterates Tehran's long-standing precondition for diplomatic progress.
An Iranian source familiar with the matter stated that negotiations with the United States will not resume as long as Israeli forces remain in southern Lebanon, according to a single-source report. The demand reiterates a position Iran has consistently advanced as a precondition for any diplomatic progress. The Zioneer has reported on similar Iranian statements on June 21 and June 22, including demands for a ceasefire across all fronts and an Israeli withdrawal. The current report, attributed to an unnamed Iranian official, does not specify whether the precondition applies to the indirect talks mediated by Qatar and Pakistan or to broader negotiations. The status of the talks remains suspended, with Iran also demanding the release of frozen assets and oil export relief. No immediate response from the U.S. or Israel has been reported.
