Lebanon Not Informed of Details Tied to Possible US-Iran Deal, Stresses Separate Negotiation Track
(LBCI - Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation International) - Official Lebanese sources told LBCI that Lebanese authorities have not yet received any information or details regarding what the Lebanese front could witness in the event of a U.S.-Iran agreement, but said Lebanon would welcome any deal that could genuinely lead to a full end to the war and halt all operations in southern Lebanon. The sources noted the country is already technically under a ceasefire that was extended for 45 days following the latest round of negotiations involving the Lebanese state, although Israel has not adhered to it. The sources stressed that Lebanon decided from the outset to negotiate on its own behalf and would not serve as a bargaining chip for any party. They said Iran seeks to link Lebanon to its negotiations with Washington in order to signal to Hezbollah that it has not abandoned the group, while the Lebanese state remains firm in independently handling negotiations and separating the two tracks.
