Iran-US deal signed, formal ceremony on June 19 in Switzerland. Iranian Foreign Minister says Israeli occupation of Lebanon will violate the agreement.
Iran and the United States have concluded a peace deal, which has already been signed electronically. The deal will be formally signed in Switzerland on 19 June, at which point all terms related to the agreement will also become clear. Under this deal, the Strait of Hormuz has also been opened and the American blockade has been lifted. The waterway will be fully opened on 19 June. Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has made a significant statement on the Iran-US deal.
What did Araghchi say?
Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi said that the ongoing war in Lebanon is linked to Iran's war. Israel is continuously attacking Lebanon and occupying large areas of South Lebanon. On this, the Iranian foreign minister expressed displeasure and said that any kind of occupation in Lebanon will be considered a violation of the deal between Iran and America. Araghchi made clear that no further Israeli attacks on Lebanon will be accepted.
Netanyahu does not want to end war against Hezbollah
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made clear that Israeli military action against Hezbollah in Lebanon will continue.
The ceasefires brokered between Israel and Lebanon under the mediation of US President Donald Trump have so far yielded no results. Israeli forces are continuously attacking south Lebanon, causing heavy loss of life and property.
Trump himself has asked Netanyahu several times to stop the attacks on Lebanon, but Netanyahu has no intention of doing so. Netanyahu believes that eliminating Hezbollah is necessary and has therefore ordered his military to continue operations. Trump is also displeased with this, as he is aware that continued Israeli attacks on Lebanon are having a negative impact on the Iran-US deal.
