Ghalibaf: Lebanon Ceasefire as Important as Iran's
Why it matters: The remarks highlight Iran’s commitment to the resistance front and its push for coordinated ceasefire efforts across multiple fronts facing Israeli aggression. The big picture: Ghalibaf made the comments during a phone call with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri. Tehran says it is actively pursuing efforts, including through diplomatic channels such as talks in Islamabad, to enforce a ceasefire across conflict zones. The call comes as Israeli attacks on Lebanon continue to displace large numbers of civilians. What they’re saying: Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf: “We are seriously pursuing the imposition of a lasting ceasefire in all areas of conflict, as agreed.” “A ceasefire in Lebanon is as important to us as a ceasefire in Iran.” “We will never forget our Lebanese brothers and consider them as our own.” Nabih Berri: “Israel is committing crimes in our country and is seeking to displace the Lebanese people.” “More than 1.2 million Lebanese have been displaced so far.” “We remain steadfast on the path of resistance, and any engagement with the Israeli regime does not serve Lebanon’s interests.” Key points: Iran reaffirmed support for Lebanon and resistance groups, including Hezbollah and Amal. Israeli attacks have led to mass displacement across Lebanon. Both sides emphasized unity and continued resistance against Israeli aggression. Go deeper: The remarks come amid heightened regional tensions linked to the U.S.-Israeli war of aggression across the region, including Iran and Lebanon. - ahmad shirzadian
