Iran open to cease-fire efforts in Lebanon — if Israel stops bombing Gaza – POLITICO

TEL AVIV — Iran has offered to support efforts to reach a cease-fire in Lebanon but on the highly unlikely condition that Israel halts its military campaign in Gaza.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi made the remarks on Friday in Beirut, on the first visit by a top Iranian official to the Lebanese capital since an Israeli airstrike killed Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah last week.

Araghchi emphasized “the importance of using all the diplomatic capacities to support Lebanon and the region against the Zionist occupation regime.”
