In Lebanon, Israel said it targeted Tehran-backed militant group Hezbollah across the south of the country overnight and early Friday, killing at least 18 people, Lebanon’s health officials reported.
Israeli military said four of its soldiers were killed as Hezbollah also reported fighting in the area.
There was no immediate reaction from Iranian officials, with the country’s state media reporting on the postponement of the talks but not laying out the reasons for it.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said President Donald Trump brought about the interim agreement “out of desperation.”
In a statement released on Telegram Thursday night, Khamenei said he “held a different view” on the memorandum of understanding, but gave his permission anyway, adding that Iran won’t submit to any “excessive” American demands.
“It is self-evident that the in-person negotiations that will take place in the future will not mean acceptance of the enemy’s position,” he added.
Iran has warned that it would not abide by the agreement should Israel, which was left out of the peace talks, continue its deadly campaign in Lebanon.
