US Vice President JD Vance clarified that the ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran does not extend to Lebanon, attributing the confusion to a 'legitimate misunderstanding' during negotiations. He explained that the agreement is strictly between Iran, the US, and its allies, which include Israel and Gulf states. Vance warned Tehran against risking the ceasefire over Lebanon, a conflict he noted is unrelated to the negotiations. He stated that Israel had shown restraint in Lebanon to support the talks but emphasized that no formal commitment regarding Lebanon was included in the truce. This misunderstanding poses an early challenge to the efforts aimed at formalizing a longer-term agreement and places Washington at odds with Pakistani mediators and Iranian officials, who believed the ceasefire would cover broader regional hostilities. Despite these tensions, Vance confirmed plans for a US delegation to travel to Pakistan for further discussions, even as Israel continues military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
