US-Iran Agreement Seeks End to Lebanon Conflict Amid Israeli Military PresencePreviousNext

A preliminary US-Iran agreement aims to end hostilities across all fronts, including Lebanon, with Iran emphasizing that Israeli withdrawal from occupied Lebanese territories is essential for lasting peace. Hezbollah welcomed the ceasefire, but Israel, not party to the deal, maintains its military presence in southern Lebanon, citing security concerns. The deal's full details remain undisclosed, and tensions persist as both sides monitor compliance amid calls for restraint from international actors.
