Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stated that Iran has conditioned any agreement on Israel halting its military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon. According to Pompeo, Hezbollah is a direct arm of the Iranian regime, and an Israeli victory in Lebanon is vital for shared US-Israeli goals. This claim, reported by a desk-reviewed report, remains unverified by other independent sources.
