Tehran: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Tuesday that an end to the war on all fronts, including the cessation of Israeli attacks in Lebanon, is a "prerequisite" for ending the war between Iran and the US-Israel, according to Iran's state-run news agency IRNA.

According to Anadolu Agency, Araghchi told a gathering of international missions in the capital Tehran that the Lebanon and Iran fronts "became somehow connected and dependent on each other." He emphasized that from the beginning, the Islamic Republic of Iran considered ending the war in Lebanon a prerequisite for ending the war with Iran.

Araghchi stated, "Now that we have reached an end to the war, the end of the war will also be in Lebanon," highlighting the ceasefire in Lebanon as an "inseparable" part of the recently announced deal with the US. The end of the war was declared on Monday morning in Iran time, with the memorandum of understanding set to officially take effect on Friday.

The upcoming US-Iran talks, which are scheduled to begin in Switzerland on Friday, will be divided into two phases, Araghchi explained. The first phase will address issues such as the Strait of Hormuz, maritime restrictions, and post-conflict reconstruction of Iran's infrastructure. The second phase will focus on nuclear matters and sanctions relief, aiming to reach a final agreement.
