ISTANBUL, June 1 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- Iran warned Monday it will not hesitate to help Lebanon resist Israel’s “illegal aggression" on the country, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported, citing local media.
"We have emphasised and continue to emphasise that the ceasefire in Lebanon is an integral part of any ceasefire and any final agreement" to end the war with the US, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei told a news conference cited by the state news agency IRNA.
Tensions in West Asia have escalated since the US and Israel launched strikes on Iran in February. Tehran retaliated with attacks targeting Israel and US allies in the Gulf, alongside the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
A ceasefire took effect April 8 through Pakistani mediation, but subsequent talks in Islamabad failed to produce a lasting agreement. Since then, the two sides have continued exchanging proposals and counter-proposals in an effort to resume direct talks and end the conflict.
