Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani warned on Monday that any attack on Lebanon “will constitute a basis for increasing tension in the region and threaten security and peace there.”

In his weekly press conference, Kanaani stressed that “defending Lebanon is a fundamental principle for Iran, which will without a doubt support Lebanon in the face of any Israeli aggression.” He said, "Iran will not hesitate to support Lebanon and protect its security when needed."

Kanaani added that "Israel will bear the consequences of any attack on Lebanon," and that it must "be careful of any risky maneuvers it may take in the region." He also pointed out that “the international community must bear its responsibilities in this context as well.”

A few days ago, the head of the Strategic Council for Foreign Policy in Iran, Kamal Kharrazi, confirmed that Iran would support the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah, in the event of a comprehensive war, pointing out that expanding the war was not in anyone’s interest.

In another context, regarding the talks with the United States, Kanaani explained that they are ongoing. He emphasized that Iran is committed to the negotiations, and detailed information will be disclosed at the appropriate time.

He pointed out that the current negotiations regarding the lifting of sanctions are "in good condition," indicating that the next government "will utilize these achievements in the nuclear dossier in a manner that serves Iran's interests."

Kanaani continued, "The negotiations to lift sanctions have specific mechanisms within the frameworks of Iran's general policies. We must wait for the formation of the new government to continue its efforts within these frameworks."

Regarding the possibility of negotiations between Iran and the United States via Oman, Kanaani stressed that diplomatic channels are "open in several ways, as Tehran has previously conducted indirect negotiations."

Last May, the Iranian mission to the United Nations confirmed that the news circulating about indirect negotiations between Tehran and Washington in the Omani capital, Muscat, is accurate. According to the Iranian mission, the indirect negotiations between Tehran and Washington in Muscat "are not the first of their kind, and will not be the last."
