Iran has told regional mediators that its participation in talks with U.S. officials in Islamabad on Friday is "conditional on a ceasefire in Lebanon, warning it might also reverse its decision on reopening the Strait of Hormuz," the Wall Street Journal is reporting. This, after Israel carried out its largest wave of strikes in over a month of war, across Lebanon.
Laith Marouf, journalist and executive director of Free Palestine TV based in Beirut, noted that the strikes targeted civilian infrastructure and the death toll is expected to rise, as local authorities are already reporting hundreds killed and wounded.
Marouf emphasized that Iran showed its willingness to pull the world back from the brink of a nuclear holocaust, amid increasing threats from President Trump. But Iran will not back down from its demands, especially when it comes to a cessation of war on ALL fronts, including in Lebanon, in order for a deal to be made.
