On April 16, 2023, Iran’s parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, emphasized the importance of Lebanon in achieving a regional ceasefire during a meeting with General Asim Munir, the army chief of Pakistan, in Tehran. His remarks followed U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of a 10-day truce between Lebanon and Israel, aimed at halting the ongoing conflict involving Hezbollah, a militant group supported by Iran. Ghalibaf noted that Iran has made the end of hostilities in Lebanon a condition in its negotiations with the U.S., which are being mediated by Pakistan. However, he did not provide any information about the resumption of direct talks with Washington, as both parties prepare for a second round of discussions.
