Sources to LBCI: Lebanon not informed of details tied to possible US-Iran deal, stresses separate negotiation track

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 that if any U.S.-Iran agreement were to result in a ceasefire in Lebanon, 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.

According to the sources, Lebanon has been working with the negotiating team since the last meeting held in Washington to stabilize the fragile ceasefire and has been holding intensive contacts with the American side in an effort to secure a comprehensive halt to military operations across all Lebanese territory.

However, the sources said Lebanon has yet to receive a clear response, while the Israeli side continues to justify its operations by claiming that Hezbollah also continues its activities.
