Iranian official credits Hezbollah for ceasefire
A senior Iranian military official has given a detailed account of Tehran's brinkmanship leading up to the U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. In an interview with Al-Mayadeen, the official stated that after diplomatic efforts failed, Iran repeatedly went to the brink of war and prepared missile launch platforms. He claimed that a definitive deadline was set, and Israel, upon seeing the seriousness of the impending operation and Hezbollah's resistance, was forced to stop firing on Lebanon. This narrative frames the ceasefire as a military victory coerced by Iran and its allies, aligning with Tehran's broader propaganda efforts. The official's comments were published by the IRGC Cyber Corps channel on Telegram.
Added explicit thanks to Pakistan's army chief General Asim Munir for his mediating role in endorsing the ceasefire.
