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.
