Iran has made halting the fighting in Lebanon a prerequisite for any agreement with the US to bring the broader West Asia war to an end, Iran's Foreign Ministry declared on Monday (June 1). Speaking at his weekly press briefing, foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said a cessation of hostilities in Lebanon was not a peripheral demand but a core requirement. "We insist that a ceasefire in Lebanon is an essential condition for any deal aimed at ending the war," he said, as Israel continued to press its offensive in the country.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/iran-war-us-strikes-iran-s-radar-sites-as-trump-toughens-demands-1780303537714/embed">https://www.wionews.com/videos/iran-war-us-strikes-iran-s-radar-sites-as-trump-toughens-demands-1780303537714/embed</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged to advance further into Lebanese territory, and the UN Security Council was convening an emergency session on Monday following Israel's seizure of the mediaeval Beaufort castle.
