Diplomatic tension: Iran threatens to escalate the campaign due to the situation in Lebanon

A series of reports published on the Abu Saleh Arab Desk channel, known for its critical line toward Israeli and US policy, reveals a picture of acute diplomatic tension. According to the channel, the Iranian delegation in the negotiations set an unequivocal demand to stop the fighting in Lebanon, threatening that "if Israel does not withdraw its forces from Lebanon, all negotiations will be halted, and Iran will enter a phase of violent response" according to Abu Saleh.

At the same time, open frictions were recorded between the Iranian delegation and the US. A report by Abu Saleh described drama in the negotiation room, after the Iranian delegation left the place in protest of the threats of former President Donald Trump. Trump, for his part, sent public threats toward Iran, warning against the opening of a new military campaign and cautioning against the closure of the Strait of Hormuz as noted in a publication on the channel.

Official sources in Iran rejected Trump's threats and called them "empty threats that have expired" according to a source quoted on the Israel News | No Censorship channel. On the other hand, a former Iranian advisor estimated in an Abu Saleh report that the US has lost its capabilities to launch a broad campaign as it had in the past, and that any American action would be "targeted" only.

Meanwhile, claims were published according to which "Israel and the United Arab Emirates acted together militarily against Iran" according to Abu Saleh, based on the words of the US envoy to the UN. The general atmosphere reflected from the sources is that of a deadlock in the talks, with Iran defining the Lebanon issue as a critical point where it is prepared to "commit suicide" politically and diplomatically according to Abu Saleh.
