Hezbollah is confident that any potential agreement between Iran and the United States will include Lebanon, a senior Hezbollah politician says. Speaking as hopes for a wider US-Iran arrangement grow, the politician argues that Iran will insist on ensuring Lebanon is part of the terms. The comments come amid ongoing fighting in Lebanon involving Hezbollah and Israel. Hezbollah entered the conflict in support of Tehran on March 2, opening fire at Israel and triggering an Israeli offensive that has killed thousands in Lebanon, according to the reports. The Reuters dispatch cited by Al-Monitor also notes that Iranian officials have repeatedly said ending the fighting in Lebanon should be included in any broader understanding with Washington. The reporting frames the statement as reflecting Hezbollah’s expectations about how an eventual US-Iran deal would be structured, particularly regarding Lebanon’s role in any ceasefire or de-escalation arrangements.
