Iran says ceasefire across all fronts essential for any agreement

• Iran says any agreement must include a halt to fighting across all fronts, including Lebanon.
• Tehran says Qatar is continuing to mediate between Iran and Washington, conveying messages from both sides.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said a complete halt to the war across all fronts, including Lebanon, is a fundamental condition for reaching any agreement.

Speaking about diplomatic efforts to end the conflict, Baghaei said Qatar was continuing its mediation, conveying the positions of both Tehran and Washington.

Baghaei stressed that regional security could not be restored unless Iran's "legitimate and logical demands" were met.

His remarks underscore Tehran's position that any potential agreement must address the fighting beyond the direct confrontation between Iran and the United States, extending to other regional fronts, particularly Lebanon.
