Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araqchi said the memorandum of understanding involves two sides: the United States and Israel on one side, and Iran and Hezbollah on the other. He stressed that ending the war in Lebanon is inseparable from a complete regional cease‑fire, which requires Israel to withdraw all forces from territories it occupied during the conflict. Araqchi warned that any further Israeli attacks or continued occupation in Lebanon would be deemed a violation of the agreement.
