Iran’s Fars News Agency reported overnight Monday that the secretariat of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council is expected to release an official statement soon regarding the emerging ceasefire agreement.
According to the report, after the Israeli strike in Dahieh, Beirut, Iran considered withdrawing from negotiations and was planning to launch an attack against Israel. However, Fars claims that following a series of concessions offered at the last minute by U.S. President Donald Trump, Iran “decided” to avoid escalation and continue talks.
Among the proposals reportedly conveyed to Iran: preserving Lebanon’s territorial integrity, Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon’s border, and immediate lifting of the blockade. The report also claims an understanding was reached under which maritime traffic in the Persian Gulf would be managed through cooperation between Iran and Oman.
As of now, no official confirmation has been released by the United States, Israel, or other international parties regarding the claims made in the Iranian report.
