US Official Says Israel’s Withdrawal From Lebanon Is Not Part of Iran Deal
A senior American official told Reuters that Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon is not a condition in the United States’ agreement with Iran. The official said the deal does not hinge on any Israeli pullout from Lebanese territory.
The same official added that Israel would retain the right to defend itself against attacks by Hezbollah. No further details were provided about the agreement or its timing.
The comments appear aimed at separating the Iran understanding from Israel’s security concerns on the northern border, where Hezbollah has repeatedly been a source of tension and attacks. The official’s remarks clarify Washington’s position that Israel’s defensive rights remain intact regardless of the accord.
