Iran welcomes Lebanon ceasefire as Pakistan mediates talks to end war

Iran says it welcomes the announcement of the ceasefire in Lebanon. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman says the pause in fighting is part of the US-Iran ceasefire agreement, mediated by Pakistan. And is stressing the need for a full Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon.

Meanwhile, a Pakistani delegation is in Tehran to relay messages from Washington in the latest effort to bring the US and Israel's war on Iran to a permanent end.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will continue to occupy Lebanese territory—despite the ceasefire announcement—but he has agreed to a pause in Israeli attacks in Lebanon.
