A potential agreement regarding the maritime border between Lebanon and Israel is nearing completion, with Iran expected to be a key beneficiary should it succeed. Lebanese analyst Sarkis Naoum describes the prospective deal as a point of no return, suggesting its significance and finality. The agreement aims to resolve a long-standing dispute over oil and gas-rich areas in the Mediterranean Sea. While details remain confidential, the deal would allow both Lebanon and Israel to explore and exploit resources in contested waters. Concerns are rising among rivals who anticipate Iran gaining influence through Lebanon’s potential energy wealth. The finalization of the agreement is anticipated soon, pending confirmation from all parties involved.
