Report: Officials act to spare Lebanon war as ceasefire committee urges arms timetable
by Naharnet Newsdesk 14 June 2025, 12:33 The warnings received by Lebanon with the start of the Israel-Iran conflict were not only passed on to Hezbollah but also to the Palestinian factions allied with it, especially Hamas and the Islamic Jihad, informed sources said. 'Their leaderships were unequivocally told that any military action from the Lebanese south, whether through rockets or any move of military nature, would be faced by a very firm and unprecedented Lebanese stance that includes taking totally unexpected political and security decisions,' the sources told the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper in remarks published Saturday. The sources revealed that these messages were relayed through several channels, most notably Army chief General Rodolphe Haykal, who 'communicated with Hezbollah after the Israeli strike on Iran and told it of the need to keep Lebanon neutral and not be dragged into a new confrontation, 'because this war is not our war.'' Haykal also called on Hezbollah to 'abide by the official stance that stresses that the decisions of war and peace are in the hands of the state.' Nidaa al-Watan added that the five-party ceasefire committee has 'advised Lebanon to lay out a timetable for the handover of weapons to avoid the worse, telling it that the international community will not overlook this matter.' 'Through taking practical steps requested from it, Lebanon can fend off the specter of war, because Israel is insisting to put an end to every threat targeting it, while one of the international community's conditions for helping Lebanon is extending state's authority and collecting all illegal weapons,' the daily quoted the ceasefire committee as saying. Lebanese officials meanwhile told the newspaper that Lebanon has carried out contacts with foreign powers in order to avoid war, specifically with the U.S. and France, and that 'an agreement was reached on Lebanon's neutrality.' Moreover, political authorities gave the Lebanese Army a green light, especially in south Lebanon, and a state of maximum alert was declared as Hezbollah 'responded positively' to the request for staying out of the conflict, Lebanese officials told the daily. 'These messages came under direct supervision from senior state officials in parallel with international and regional coordination to spare the Lebanese front involvement in the open inferno,' the sources added.

Iran says nuclear talks with US 'meaningless' after Israel attack
Iran said on Friday the dialogue with the U.S. over Tehran's nuclear program is "meaningless" after Israel's biggest-ever military strike against its longstanding enemy, accusing Washington of supporting the attack. "The other side (the U.S.) acted in a way that makes dialogue meaningless. You cannot claim to negotiate and at the same time divide work by allowing the Zionist regime (Israel) to target Iran's territory," the semi-official Tasnim news agency quoted foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei as saying. He said Israel "succeeded in influencing" the diplomatic process, and the Israeli attack would not have happened without Washington's permission. Iran earlier accused the U.S. of being complicit in Israel's attacks. Still, Washington denied the allegation and told Tehran at the United Nations Security Council that it would be "wise" to negotiate over its nuclear program. The sixth round of U.S.-Iran nuclear talks was set to be held on Sunday in Muscat, but it was unclear whether it would go ahead after the Israeli strikes. Iran denies that its uranium enrichment program is for anything other than civilian purposes, rejecting Israeli allegations that it is secretly developing nuclear weapons. Reuters
