Iranian foreign ministry officials have established contact with Lebanon to verify that ceasefire agreements are being maintained across all regions, according to a spokesperson who spoke to state television on Saturday. The statement was made from Islamabad, where high-level discussions between American and Iranian representatives are currently underway to resolve their ongoing six-week conflict.
Sources within Lebanon who have connections to Hezbollah informed Reuters on Friday that the organization backs the diplomatic efforts taking place in Pakistan. These officials indicated they view the Islamabad discussions as the proper course of action, rather than participating in alternative negotiations scheduled to occur in Washington during the upcoming week.
