- Hezbollah says Iran has assured the group it will seek an 'Israeli' troop withdrawal from Lebanon in future talks with Washington.
- The group said no nuclear agreement would be finalized unless 'Israeli' forces leave Lebanese territory.
Hezbollah has received assurances from Iran that it will push for the withdrawal of 'Israeli' troops from Lebanon during the next phase of negotiations with the United States, according to the group's media relations office.
Speaking to Reuters, Hezbollah said the issue would be raised after Tehran and Washington signed a memorandum of understanding on Friday, paving the way for further talks between the two countries.
The group clarified that an 'Israeli' pull-out from Lebanon would be an outcome of the negotiations rather than a precondition for continuing discussions.
However, Hezbollah stressed that "there will be no nuclear deal between Iran and the United States unless the Israelis withdraw" from Lebanese territory, linking the future of any agreement to developments on the Lebanese front.
The remarks underscore Hezbollah's expectation that regional security issues, including the presence of 'Israeli' forces in Lebanon, will be addressed as part of broader US-Iran negotiations.
