Iran says Israel’s actions in Lebanon delaying US deal

Iran said Monday that ongoing Israeli attacks in Lebanon are hindering efforts to reach an agreement between Tehran and Washington. “The main factor in the failure to reach an agreement in the region is the Zionist regime and the attacks on Lebanon, an attempt to prevent the improvement of the situation in the region,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei told a news conference, according to state broadcaster IRIB. Baqaei also blamed the US, arguing that Washington bears responsibility because of its support for Israel. “The US is also responsible,” he said, claiming that “every action” taken by Israel is “the responsibility of America, which supports it.” READ: Netanyahu orders attacks on Beirut’s Dahiyeh despite Lebanon ceasefire He stressed that diplomacy […]
