Iran backs any decision taken by Lebanon in talks to secure a ceasefire with Israel, a senior Iranian official said on Friday, signalling Tehran wants to see an end to a conflict that has dealt heavy blows to its Lebanese ally Hezbollah.

A senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said Friday that his country was not "sabotaging" efforts to achieve a Hezbollah-Israel cease-fire and will back any decision made by the Lebanese government.

As a top adviser to Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei visited Lebanon for talks, Lebanese officials said a U.S. proposal for a cease-fire deal had been passed on to Hezbollah.
