Syria will do the job,\u201d Trump said, praising Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa for doing an \u201camazing job\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Iran\u2019s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Tuesday that ending the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, was \u201cthe most important\u201d aspect of the peace agreement announced by the United States and Iran a day earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe important point I want to emphasize here is that in our view, there are two parties to this memorandum \u2014 one side is America and Israel, and the other side is Iran and Hezbollah,\u201d Araghchi said during a briefing with foreign diplomats that was broadcast on state television.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is perhaps the most important issue in the memorandum \u2014 the declaration of an immediate and permanent end to the war on all fronts, including in Lebanon,\u201d he said, adding that \u201cending the war in Lebanon is an inseparable part of the complete end of the war\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His remarks came a day after Tehran and Washington announced a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the conflict that began on February 28 with US-Israeli strikes on Iran and later spread across the Middle East. The agreement between Iran and the United States is expected to be signed in Switzerland on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam on Tuesday reaffirmed Lebanon\u2019s position in negotiations for a permanent ceasefire and the withdrawal of Israeli forces. They also stressed the deployment of the Lebanese army to international borders and the return of prisoners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lebanon became directly involved in the conflict in early March when Iran-backed Hezbollah launched rockets at Israel following the killing of Iran\u2019s supreme leader, prompting Israeli air strikes and a ground invasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Araghchi said the war could not truly end without the withdrawal of Israeli forces from territories occupied during the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAny military attack by the Zionist regime on Lebanon from now on and the continued occupation of Lebanese territories from now on will be considered a violation of the memorandum of understanding in our view,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has maintained that Israeli forces will remain in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza \u201cas long as necessary\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following Monday\u2019s announcement of the agreement, Lebanon\u2019s Hezbollah said it had attacked Israeli forces attempting to advance in southern Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The deal between Iran and the United States is expected to be formally signed in Switzerland on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he enjoys a strong relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but stressed that the Israeli leader should act more responsibly regarding&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4916,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[2351,1043,17,2362],"class_list":["post-4915","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-g7-summit","tag-netanyahu","tag-trump","tag-us-iran-agreement"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
