Iran has said that any negotiations with the United States would be pointless unless the war in Lebanon comes to an end. The statement comes amid rising tensions in Lebanon and growing concerns over regional instability.
Ebrahim Azizi, who chairs the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, stated that there is 'no point' in discussing new understandings or negotiations without concrete confidence-building measures. He indicated that five specific steps would need to be taken, though details were not fully outlined.
The remarks signal that Tehran is linking diplomatic engagement with Washington directly to developments in Lebanon, underscoring how the conflict is shaping broader regional diplomacy.
