Iran’s Foreign minister says the war is not fully over without Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon

# Iran’s Foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has cautioned that any ongoing Israeli presence in Lebanon would breach the memorandum of understanding between Tehran and the US, scheduled to be signed on Friday. Lebanon was pulled into the war in early March when Iran-backed Hezbollah launched rockets at Israel following the killing of Iran’s supreme leader, prompting Israeli strikes and a ground invasion. Araghchi says they have insisted from the onset that ending the war in Lebanon was a prerequisite for ending the war with Iran.
