Iran and the U.S. will start a new ⁠round of ⁠negotiations on Friday in Switzerland to reach a final ⁠agreement after the official start of an interim agreement, Iran's foreign minister said on Tuesday.

Abbas Araqchi also warned that ⁠any ⁠Israeli attack on Lebanon or continued presence on Lebanese territory from now on constituted a violation of the ⁠interim agreement with the United States.

"In our view, the two parties to this memorandum ⁠are ‌the U.S. ‌and Israel ⁠on ‌one side, and Iran and ⁠Hezbollah on ⁠the other," he said.
