Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah says Iran has promised to keep backing the group, even as Israeli strikes hit Lebanon and talk grows of a possible Iran–US deal. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says Tehran is ready to reassure the world it is not seeking nuclear weapons, while Donald Trump insists he would only accept a deal if Iran dismantles its nuclear program. It is still unknown whether any future Iran–US agreement would limit Iran’s support for Hezbollah or change the conflict between Israel and Lebanon.

RU
US Pressure on Tehran
Russian reporting stresses that Washington, under figures like Donald Trump, is setting tough conditions on Iran over its nuclear work. It portrays Iran as willing to show transparency while resisting what it sees as US overreach. Russian voices expect Moscow to back Iran’s right to civilian nuclear technology and its ties with groups such as Hezbollah.

- •Moscow presents Iran as ready to prove it is not pursuing nuclear weapons.
- •Russian commentators argue US pressure on Iran is linked to support for Israel’s actions in Lebanon.
- •Russia signals support for Iran’s continued regional partnerships, including with Hezbollah.

ME
Iran-Hezbollah Alliance
Middle Eastern outlets describe Hezbollah’s message as proof that Iran’s support for the group will continue regardless of outside pressure. They present Iran’s nuclear assurances as an attempt to ease Western fears without giving up ties to allies in Lebanon. They expect any Iran–US deal to leave Hezbollah’s role in Lebanon largely intact while Israel keeps using force.
- •Hezbollah leaders insist Iran will not abandon the group even under a new Iran–US agreement.
- •Iranian officials promise to reassure other countries about nuclear activities while keeping regional alliances.
WEST
Deal-For-Nukes Demand
Western coverage highlights Donald Trump’s demand that Iran dismantle its nuclear program as a condition for any deal. It treats Iran’s reassurances about not seeking nuclear arms with caution and links them to pressure over support for groups like Hezbollah. Commentators expect any US administration to face pressure to tie sanctions relief to limits on Iran’s regional activities.
- •Donald Trump conditions any Iran deal on full dismantling of Iran’s nuclear program.
- •US politicians link Iran’s nuclear advances with its backing for Hezbollah and other armed groups.

Next Talks▸What to Watch
Formal Iran–US negotiations or a public outline of proposed terms, if announced in the coming months, would show whether Washington is tying nuclear relief to limits on Iran’s support for Hezbollah.
What Could Happen If...
- ▸If Iran and the US reach a deal that focuses only on nuclear limits and sanctions relief Hezbollah is likely to keep receiving Iranian backing while Israel continues strikes in Lebanon, leaving the local conflict largely unchanged.
