Iranian state television has confirmed that a deal has been reached securing Lebanon's inclusion in a broader regional agreement, according to a report by N12. The confirmation follows a series of earlier unverified reports from Iranian and Hezbollah-linked outlets, as well as mixed signals about the status of final approval within Iran's leadership.
A new report, citing Iranian state television and carried by Israeli news channel N12 (00:52 Jerusalem), states that an agreement has been reached on the inclusion of Lebanon in a regional deal. This confirmation from an official Iranian source marks a step forward after days of conflicting accounts.
The Zioneer has been tracking this thread throughout the day. Earlier reports ranged from a diplomat stating the US and Iran had agreed on a text, and a senior US official saying 'We think we have a deal' (June 13, 17:36), to accounts from a Hezbollah-affiliated outlet claiming Iran secured final US consent (June 12, 08:49). Other reports indicated that the IRGC commander had sought Supreme Leader Khamenei's final approval, leaving the deal potentially fragile (June 12, 17:48).
Iranian state television has also reportedly touted the deal as preserving Iran's nuclear and missile programs, as well as Hezbollah's strength (00:50 Jerusalem). The confirmation by N12 that Iranian TV is now explicitly confirming the Lebanon component provides the strongest signal of a final framework yet, though full terms and final sign-offs from all parties remain unverified.
