Will Lebanon Separate Its Negotiating Path from Iran?

Diplomatic sources confirmed to MTV that Lebanon insists on separating its negotiating path from the Iranian negotiating path, a trend that is advanced within the US administration, especially in the State Department, "for official Lebanon is the one that has the right to negotiate away from any parallel interferences."

The sources indicated that Washington views with concern the insinuations promoted by some, which claim that other negotiating paths have US approval and are capable of producing understandings or agreements.

The sources confirm that these insinuations aim to disrupt the official Lebanese negotiations and are deliberately intended to weaken the state's position.

The sources point out that the United States deals exclusively with the Lebanese state and its legitimate institutions, and that the official Lebanese negotiating delegation in Washington is the only body authorized to manage this file.

They also noted that Washington is exerting pressure on Israel to achieve tangible breakthroughs in the negotiating path, but Iranian interventions contribute to obstructing opportunities to reach a ceasefire.
