The Iranian government has welcomed the ceasefire in Lebanon between Israel and the Hezbollah militia. Iran will continue to support "the government, the people and the resistance in Lebanon," Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghai said in Tehran.

Israel launched an offensive in Lebanon in mid-September following months of tit-for-tat border attacks sparked by Hamas' Oct. 7 attack.

Israel’s security Cabinet approved a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah on Tuesday, setting the stage for an end to nearly 14 months of fighting link
