Iran Seeks US Guarantee Amid Israel, US Strikes on Nuclear Sites

Lebanon is seeking binding assurances from the United States regarding the implementation of any future deal involving Hezbollah's disarmament, reflecting concerns shared by both Hezbollah and the Lebanese state. This demand arises from Lebanon's experience following a previous ceasefire, where Israeli violations and lack of international aid hampered progress. Meanwhile, Iran remains open to diplomatic negotiations with the U.S. over its nuclear program but insists on credible guarantees from Washington to prevent future military aggression, particularly by Israel and the U.S. itself. These conditions follow recent Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites and U.S. military actions, which Iran has condemned as violations of international law and acts of aggression. Iranian officials emphasize their nuclear program is peaceful and under strict IAEA supervision, underscoring that talks lack meaning without assurances against renewed attacks. Both Lebanon and Iran highlight the importance of security guarantees as a prerequisite for constructive diplomatic engagement with the United States.
