that peace between Tehran and Washington is contingent on Israel stopping its attacks on Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Khamenei made the statement in a post on X on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iran \u201chas designated the preservation of Lebanon\u2019s territorial integrity, and the absolute, unconditional termination of the Zionist regime\u2019s aggression as the primary condition for any agreement to ending the imposed war against the aggressive US\u201d, he wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Khamenei also

and the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tehran has insisted that Israel must end its strikes on Lebanon as a condition for Iran ending the war with the US, enshrining that demand in the first clause of the memorandum of understanding it signed with Washington in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agreement has since collapsed amid a dispute over the

citing both the killing of then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on the first day of the US-Israel war on Iran, February 28, and Israel\u2019s near-daily bombardment of Lebanese territory, attacks Hezbollah says violated a ceasefire that had ended an earlier round of hostilities in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On June 26, following the signing of the US-Iran memorandum, Lebanon and Israel signed a US-mediated framework agreement stipulating a phased Israeli withdrawal from occupied Lebanese territory, but without a timetable for the withdrawal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
