According to reports from the ISNA news agency, Pezeshkian shared these views during a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron. He described Iran’s acceptance of a ceasefire as a clear sign of its willingness to resolve disputes through peaceful negotiations.

He further explained that establishing peace in Lebanon is one of the key points in Iran’s 10-point proposal aimed at ending the wider regional conflict. This suggests that Lebanon remains a central issue in any long-term settlement.

On the other side, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel is still prepared for further conflict if required. Speaking in a televised address, he said Israel would continue pursuing its objectives either through agreements or renewed fighting.

Netanyahu added that Israel remains ready for immediate action if needed and described the current situation as only a temporary pause, not a complete end to the conflict. He also said that Iran has emerged weaker after the recent developments.

He also responded to criticism from opposition leaders who questioned the decision to agree to a truce before achieving all military goals. Netanyahu defended the move, saying it was coordinated and part of a broader strategy.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump is expected to continue discussions with Netanyahu about possibly including Lebanon in any future ceasefire agreement. His spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, said the matter remains under active consideration among the involved parties.

At present, the US-Iran truce does not include Lebanon, which became part of the conflict after Iran-backed Hezbollah launched attacks on Israel. This exclusion continues to keep Lebanon at the center of regional tensions.
