Report: US not concerned over south Lebanon clashes
The United States is not concerned over “the ongoing confrontations on the border in south Lebanon,” diplomatic sources said.
In remarks to the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper published Friday, the sources attributed the U.S. stance to “the presence of a ceiling governing these confrontations, which has resulted from the ongoing contacts between Washington and Tehran.”
In Tehran, the reformist Ham-Mihan newspaper quoted former Iranian diplomat Sayed Jalal Sadatian as saying that “there is a sort of secret diplomacy between Iran and the United States in order to contain the practices of the pro-Iran armed groups in Syria and Iraq.”
“Nasrallah’s conservative speech highlighted the presence of an Iranian desire for not expanding the conflict,” Sadatian said.
