An informed Iranian source, close to the negotiating team, stated that the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanese territory is considered an essential and indispensable condition for reaching a final and comprehensive agreement between Tehran and the United States, emphasizing that this matter represents a red line for Iran.
