Iran's Foreign Minister Engages in Regional Diplomacy Amidst Escalating Tensions

In a period of intensified conflict in Lebanon and Gaza, Iran is expressing its willingness to partake in cease-fire negotiations, contingent on Israel ceasing its bombardments. Iranian Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, has arrived in Beirut for discussions, emphasizing that any ceasefire in Lebanon must coincide with one in Gaza. Meanwhile, Iran has declared its strong support for Hezbollah and warned Israel against potential strikes on its territory. Iranian officials have also indicated that they will not send troops into Lebanon or Gaza but continue to support their allies in the region. Amid these developments, there are reports of Hezbollah commanders fleeing to Syria and Iranian volunteers ready to engage in the conflict. International calls for a ceasefire are growing, with Iran's leadership condemning Israeli actions as war crimes, while maintaining a careful stance to avoid direct military involvement.
