Iran says it won't talk with US until there is a ceasefire in Lebanon

Iran has stated it will not participate in talks with the United States unless a ceasefire is first established in Lebanon. The condition was communicated through mediators and reported by multiple news agencies.

US and Iranian officials appear to disagree on whether a Lebanon ceasefire should be part of broader discussions. French President Emmanuel Macron commented that a ceasefire should include Lebanon. Iran's parliamentary speaker said there would be no talks without a ceasefire and the release of Iranian assets.

Iran says it is in contact with authorities in Beirut to ensure any ceasefire commitments are implemented. The US and Iran are reportedly preparing for talks even as the Lebanon conflict remains unresolved.
