Iranian state television broadcast a statement Friday afternoon rejecting all proposals and demanding that Israel withdraw immediately from southern Lebanon before any referral to Geneva, according to a single report.
The statement continues a week-long pattern of escalating Iranian diplomatic demands tied to the reported U.S.-Iran talks. As The Zioneer has reported, senior Iranian officials — including the Foreign Minister, the Parliament Speaker, and the IRGC — have repeatedly conditioned any agreement on a full Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon, with ultimatums citing deadlines as imminent.
This latest broadcast appears to harden Tehran's public stance further by adding a Geneva procedural precondition. The reported U.S.-Iran memorandum remains publicly contested, with Israel having previously rejected withdrawal from Lebanese territory it captured during the campaign.
The statement was attributed to Iranian television without a named official, which may indicate a coordinated message from the regime's leadership. No immediate response was reported from Jerusalem or Washington.
