Iran's Ghalibaf 'in contact' with Hezbollah terrorists despite Lebanese objections - report
Meanwhile, the IDF continues to strike Hezbollah targets in Lebanon following ceasefire violations by the terrorist group, with Hezbollah saying the latest strike would be "met accordingly."
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf claimed he is still in contact with Hezbollah fighters despite objections from Lebanon. Ghalibaf stated that he has had a "close friendship and relationship" with Hezbollah and is in contact with their fighters on the front lines in Lebanon. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun previously stressed the rejection of Iranian interference in Lebanon, saying it is not Iran's country but Lebanon's to be left free from interference.
Ghalibaf, who is also Iran's top negotiator, insists that both Hezbollah and Lebanon are part of the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), despite the ongoing negotiations between Iran and the US. Meanwhile, Israeli forces continue to strike Hezbollah targets in Lebanon following ceasefire violations. Hezbollah has condemned the Israeli attacks and vowed to respond accordingly.
Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem criticized the progress of the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire framework established in southern Lebanon, describing it as a novelty that serves Israel's goals. Lebanese Information Minister Paul Morcos emphasized the country's commitment to continued negotiations with Israel.
