Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi affirmed that the upcoming memorandum of understanding with the United States will explicitly address the Lebanese file. He emphasized Tehran's unwavering commitment to its regional allies, noting that any cessation of hostilities must encompass all
fronts, including the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon. Araghchi warned that threatening rhetoric hinders peace efforts, explaining that the preliminary agreement initiates a 60-day negotiation period to resolve outstanding issues, primarily the nuclear dossier. Regarding the Strait of Hormuz,
he reiterated that its navigation falls under the joint sovereignty of Iran and Oman, assuring Iran's commitment to securing safe maritime passage while asserting that the situation will not revert to its pre-war military status.
