Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei declared on Sunday that securing Lebanon’s complete territorial integrity and an unconditional halt to Israeli military actions are Iran’s non-negotiable prerequisites to ending the conflict.

In a post on X, he said: “The Islamic Republic of Iran has designated the preservation of Lebanon’s territorial integrity, and the absolute, unconditional termination of the Zionist regime’s aggression as the primary condition for any agreement to ending the imposed war against the aggressive US.”

He said that Lebanon’s Hezbollah stands as “an unyielding rock” against the aggression of the Zionist regime.

“This steadfastness has become an inspiring message for the world’s free nations’ quest for liberation from Global Arrogance,” he said.
