Iran is willing to continue talks with the United States if Washington demonstrates that it is serious about honouring the agreement reached between the two sides, a senior Iranian official said on Saturday.

Speaking to Al Jazeera Arabic, Iran’s deputy foreign minister Saeed Khatibzadeh said Tehran is closely monitoring US actions to assess whether it is meeting its obligations under the deal, including ensuring that Israel adheres to its terms.

Khatibzadeh said Iran was closely monitoring developments following recent Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon.

He warned that Israel’s “continued war-making” would have “serious and immediate” consequences.

He added that Iran was seeking “peace on all fronts, including Gaza,” but stressed that diplomatic engagement with the United States would depend on the fulfilment of commitments under the existing agreement.

His remarks came amid renewed regional diplomatic activity following a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.

US President Donald Trump said on Friday that he had urged Israel to agree to a ceasefire with Hezbollah after renewed exchanges of fire earlier in the day.

Speaking to NBC News, Trump said he had been in contact with Israeli officials and encouraged support for the truce, though he did not confirm whether he had spoken directly with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Describing the ceasefire as “a positive,” Trump said it was “a little icing on the cake,” referring to a broader US-Iran memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the conflict and enabling 60 days of technical talks.

He also commented on his relationship with Netanyahu, saying, “I’ve always been good with Bibi. You just have to calm down sometimes and use your head.”

According to CNN, Israel and Hezbollah have agreed to reinstate a ceasefire that took effect at 9am local time, following mediation efforts involving the United States and Qatar.

Sources said Iran also played a role in facilitating the agreement alongside Washington and Doha.
