Middle East Ceasefire: Iranian Foreign Minister Details Islamabad Memorandum Terms in Direct Call with Lebanese President

In a crucial diplomatic development following the announcement of the peace framework between the United States and Iran, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held a direct telephone call this Monday (15) with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun. The official contact aimed to align the practical implementation of the Islamabad Memorandum clauses that directly impact Lebanese territory.

During the conversation, Araghchi detailed the core points of the agreement, which provide for an immediate cessation of hostilities across all regional military fronts. The Iranian Foreign Minister emphasized that stabilization and respect for Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity are non-negotiable priorities in the negotiations. According to the diplomat, it is the responsibility of the United States and other international guarantors to ensure that the ceasefire is fully respected by all parties involved from day one of the 60-day window stipulated to consolidate the pact.

In an official statement issued by the Presidential Palace in Beirut, President Joseph Aoun welcomed the presented terms. Aoun described the announcement as a "practical and positive step toward reducing tensions" and paving the way for stable diplomatic solutions in the region. The Lebanese leader reiterated that Lebanon's internal security is inseparable from any lasting peace effort in the Middle East.

In addition to the dialogue with the chief executive, Foreign Minister Araghchi maintained separate contact with the Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament, Nabih Berri, consolidating Tehran's effort to coordinate the post-agreement landscape with Beirut's primary institutional leadership.

This telephone outreach comes as international delegations prepare for the formal signing of the treaty, expected to take place in the coming days in Geneva, Switzerland.
