"We maintain the same position regarding the ceasefire and the same position regarding the end of the war,"
According to him, the conclusion of the conflict must also involve the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Lebanese territory.
Iran has previously repeatedly emphasized that any ceasefire agreement must also cover Lebanon. Against this backdrop, on June 4, Israel and Lebanon, mediated by the US, agreed to implement a ceasefire regime on the condition of a complete cessation of attacks by Hezbollah and the withdrawal of its militants from the southern regions of the country.
The head of the Iranian Foreign Ministry also stated that all political forces, including Hezbollah, must participate in the internal dialogue in Lebanon.
"The world must recognize that Hezbollah is part of the Lebanese reality,"
Furthermore, Araghchi declared Tehran's readiness to join the reconstruction of Lebanon after the war ends.
"We hope that reconstruction efforts will begin after the war ends. Of course, the people and government of Iran will never forget their friends in Lebanon… we will certainly do everything possible to help the Lebanese people,"
At the same time, Israel continues to view Hezbollah as a terrorist group that poses a threat to its security and insists on its disarmament.
