Report: Iran told Hezbollah to reject Aoun's initiative
Iran has linked Lebanon to its front against Israel and made its inclusion in negotiations for a ceasefire a precondition for any agreement.
In remarks to An-Nahar newspaper, diplomatic sources revealer that when President Joseph Aoun presented his initiative for negotiations, Tehran "instructed Hezbollah to reject it."
"This suggests that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was behind the decision to activate the Lebanese front and is insisting on continuing the confrontation," the sources said.
