Tahran, Nov 16 (V7N) — Iran has expressed its support for any decision by Lebanon to implement a ceasefire with Israel, signaling a potential step towards halting hostilities. Ali Larijani, an advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, made the statement during his visit to Beirut on Friday, as reported by Reuters.

This announcement comes amid heightened aggression by Israel in Lebanon. Tehran’s endorsement reflects its readiness to support measures aimed at de-escalation.

On Thursday, the United States presented its first written ceasefire proposal to Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, who has been nominated by Hezbollah to mediate the negotiations. The proposal marks a significant step in U.S. diplomatic efforts to end the conflict.

Larijani’s comments underline Iran’s strategic alignment with Hezbollah and its broader stance on the conflict. Meanwhile, Nabih Berri’s role as a mediator is expected to shape the trajectory of the ceasefire discussions.

As tensions remain high, the international community watches closely for developments in the ceasefire negotiations and the role of key players, including Iran and the United States, in resolving the crisis.
