Hezbollah says Iran pledged to pursue IDF withdrawal from Lebanon in nuclear talks with US
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHezbollah has received assurances from its backer Iran that it will demand a withdrawal of Israeli troops from Lebanon in its next phase of talks with the United States, Hezbollah’s media relations office tells Reuters.
An IDF withdrawal will be the result of, and not a pre-condition for, continuing talks between Tehran and Washington following the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the two countries on Friday, Hezbollah says.
The group tells Reuters that there will be “no nuclear deal between Iran and the United States unless the Israelis withdraw” from Lebanon.
