Iran Demands Lebanon Ceasefire and Asset Unfreezing as Precondition for Peace Agreement
·Tehran / Islamabad
Iran demands a simultaneous Lebanon ceasefire and the unfreezing of Iranian sovereign assets as a precondition for any final ceasefire agreement with the US, complicating the Islamabad process.
As the Islamabad talks got underway on April 11, Iran presented a formal precondition: no final ceasefire agreement without an immediate Lebanon ceasefire and the release of frozen Iranian sovereign assets. This links the Lebanon and Iran tracks, complicating the Islamabad process. Iranian officials said this is not negotiable.
Actor responses
No agreement without Lebanon ceasefire and unfrozen assets. This is not negotiable.
Israel will not discuss ceasefire with Hezbollah in the current framework. Lebanon is a separate track.
