Berri hopeful as Iran reportedly says any US-Israel deal will include Lebanon

Iran has informed leaders in Beirut of a “clear pledge” to include Lebanon in any deal that ends the ongoing war with the United States and Israel, well-informed Lebanese sources revealed to Asharq al-Awsat newspaper.

The sources said that Lebanese officials were told through "non-diplomatic" channels that Tehran informed a number of its allies in Lebanon that any agreement to end the war “will certainly include Lebanon.”

In a phone interview with Asharq al-Awsat, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri expressed his hope that the leaked information would be correct, saying that he hopes for “a comprehensive agreement that includes an end to the Israeli war on Lebanon.”
