Diplomat says any attacks on Lebanon a 'red line' for Iran
Iran's ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, Ali Bahreini, affirmed Tuesday that the resumption of negotiations on the Iranian nuclear program is contingent upon the implementation of five points outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and the role of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Bahreini explained that a specialized working group has been formed to monitor the implementation of the MOU signed with the United States.
Regarding Lebanon, the Iranian ambassador emphasized that his country would respond if Israel violated the MOU in any way, including launching attacks on Lebanon and Hezbollah.
He added that "the red line for Iran is any further attacks on Lebanon, including the capital, Beirut, and southern Lebanon."
