Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said that the ongoing Pakistani and Qatari mediation efforts have achieved significant progress towards ending the war on Lebanon.
Araqchi considered that the “Lebanon Conflict Prevention Cell” would be the first practical test of this path.
Araqchi revealed measures that included exempting oil exports, lifting the blockade, and releasing part of the frozen Iranian assets, in addition to launching a reconstruction plan in Iran.
