- IRGC says regional peace depends on 'Israeli' withdrawal from occupied areas in Lebanon.
- Officials say any regional ceasefire must include Lebanon.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said Thursday that the peoples of the region would not abandon Lebanon, calling for an immediate halt to 'Israeli' attacks and a full withdrawal of forces from Lebanese territory.
In a statement carried by Fars News Agency, the IRGC said the Lebanese people would not allow 'Israel' to achieve through political agreements what it failed to accomplish during the war.
"The people of Lebanon will not permit the usurping regime to obtain through an imposed agreement, backed by the child-killing American regime, what it could not achieve on the battlefield," the statement said.
The IRGC also stressed that any regional ceasefire arrangement must include Lebanon, saying Tehran's minimum condition for accepting a ceasefire during the conflict was a halt to fighting across all fronts.
According to the statement, 'Israel' must immediately stop its attacks on Lebanon, withdraw from areas it occupies, return behind internationally recognized borders, and recognize Lebanon's territorial integrity.
The IRGC further argued that stability in the region cannot be achieved without the withdrawal of 'Israeli' forces from Lebanese territory.
"We will support the people of Lebanon with all our strength," the statement added.
