A top Iranian official has pledged his country’s unwavering support for Lebanon after talks with Lebanese leaders on the ongoing war between Israel and Hezbollah.

A senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said Friday that his country was not "sabotaging" efforts to achieve a Hezbollah-Israel cease-fire and will back any decision made by the Lebanese government.

Lebanon’s caretaker prime minister has asked Iran to help secure a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hezbollah and appeared to urge it to convince the militant group to agree to a deal that could require it to pull back from the Israel-Lebanon border.
