Esmail Baghaei, the Spokesperson for Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, welcoming the announcement of a ceasefire in Lebanon, noted that the cessation of war in Lebanon was part of the ceasefire agreement between Iran and the United States, mediated by Pakistan. He added that the Islamic Republic of Iran, from the very beginning of its talks with various regional and international parties, including during the Islamabad negotiations, had emphasized the necessity of a simultaneous ceasefire across the entire region, including Lebanon, and pursued this matter seriously after the Islamabad talks as well.
The Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, while praising the legendary endurance of the Lebanese people and the resistance fighters against the aggression and occupation of the Zionist regime, appreciated the gracious efforts of Pakistan, particularly over the past 24 hours, which ultimately led to the announcement of a ten-day ceasefire.
In the end, the Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, extending condolences to the families of the martyrs of the Lebanese resistance and expressing solidarity with the people and government of Lebanon, stressed the necessity of the complete withdrawal of the Zionist regime from the occupied areas in southern Lebanon, the release of all prisoners, the return of all displaced persons to their places of residence, and the reconstruction of Lebanon’s destroyed areas and infrastructure with the help of the international community.
