US Defense Secretary Expects Iran Deal Signing Despite Beirut Raid

US Defense Secretary Peter Bryan Heigsith stated that the signing of an agreement with Iran is on track, emphasizing that the question is not if it will happen but when.

In an interview with CBS, Heigsith expressed that he does not anticipate Israeli strikes on southern Beirut's suburbs to obstruct the deal with Iran. He added that if Iran wants the agreement to endure, it must restrain Hezbollah.

He further remarked that he expects more advanced negotiations to take place and believes these talks will continue. He also noted close monitoring of Hezbollah's rocket launches toward northern Israel, describing such actions as something that must be halted.
