Hezbollah has received ⁠assurances ⁠from its ally Iran that it will demand ⁠a withdrawal of Israeli troops from Lebanon ⁠in its next phase of talks with the United States, Al Jazeera.

Hezbollah’s media ‌relations office tells Reuters that a pull-out will be the result of, and not a precondition for, continuing ⁠talks between Tehran ⁠and Washington following the signing of a memorandum of understanding ⁠between the two countries on ⁠Friday.

The Lebanese group says there will be “no nuclear deal between ‌Iran and the United States unless the ‌Israelis ‌withdraw” from Lebanon.
