According to CCTV, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Iran and Lebanon had agreed to establish a "conflict monitoring unit," involving the United States, to oversee implementation of the recently signed Iran-U.S. peace memorandum concerning Lebanon.

According to Iranian media, Ghalibaf told Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri in a phone call that the mechanism was agreed upon after the Iranian delegation raised objections to alleged violations by the other parties during the latest U.S.-Iran talks held in Switzerland.

Ghalibaf said the first article of the memorandum signed on June 18 includes ending the fighting in Lebanon, enabling displaced Lebanese citizens to return to their homes, and Israel's withdrawal from occupied areas.

Lebanese Parliament Speaker Berri, for his part, accused Israel of attempting to undermine the U.S.-brokered framework agreement, alleging that Israel was violating Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity under the agreement.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei also called for a timetable to be set as soon as possible for Israel's "unconditional withdrawal" from occupied areas in Lebanon, stressing that full implementation of the first article of the agreement is essential for achieving regional stability.

Meanwhile, the U.S. administration announced on Friday that Israel and Lebanon had reached a framework agreement aimed at achieving "lasting peace and security."
