Iran: US responsible for ensuring complete cessation of Israeli attacks on Lebanon
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the US is responsible for ensuring the implementation of a memorandum of understanding set to be signed between Tehran and Washington, which includes a cessation of Israeli attacks on Lebanon.
The top diplomat made the remarks during separate telephone conversations with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and parliament speaker Nabih Berri on Monday.
Araghchi said the attacks had to come to "a complete halt" as he briefed the Lebanese officials concerning the clauses of the MoU, particularly those related to Lebanon.

The United States and the Israeli regime launched their unprovoked aggression against Iran on February 28. Simultaneously, the Israeli regime escalated its deadly attacks on Lebanon in violation of both a ceasefire with Beirut and a Pakistan-mediated ceasefire agreement between Tehran and Washington, which also covers Lebanon.
The Islamic Republic insists that any ceasefire with the US should encompass all fronts, including Lebanon, describing fulfilment of the condition as indivisible to realization of peace and security in the region.
Throughout the course of the American-Israeli aggression that lasted until April 7, Iran's armed forces decisively responded to both the allies' attacks and Tel Aviv's ceasefire violations in Lebanon.
On Sunday, Iran's Foreign Ministry announced that the MoU had been finalized and would be officially signed in Switzerland on Friday.
Araghchi underlined the Islamic Republic's endeavor towards the cessation of aggression against Lebanon.
He reiterated that the United States was accountable for "faithful" implementation of the MoU, suggesting that Washington – as the Israeli regime's biggest ally – had to apply sufficient pressure on Tel Aviv to halt the attacks.
