A top Iranian official has pledged his country's unwavering support for Lebanon after talks with Lebanese leaders on the Israel-Hezbollah war.

BEIRUT, Nov 15 (Reuters) - Iran will back any decision taken by Lebanon in talks to secure a cease-fire 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.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has reportedly urged Hezbollah to accept a ceasefire agreement that would require the group to remain north of the Litani River in accordance with United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701.
