Israel's Lebanon Withdrawal Stalls Iran-U.S. Deal

Iran’s top diplomat says a fragile peace deal with the U.S. depends on Israel pulling out of Lebanon—a demand Israel has flatly rejected, risking a full-scale conflict. With Israel deeply entangled in the fighting alongside the U.S. and now controlling swathes of southern Lebanon, the withdrawal clause puts them in a bind: weaken Hezbollah without sabotaging the U.S.-Iran accord. President Trump has publicly criticized Israel’s actions, calling them damaging to the broader agreement. Regional sources confirm Iran pushed hard to include Lebanon in the deal, demanding Israel vacate most occupied territory, leaving only border zones. As world leaders convene at the G7, hopes are pinned on this fragile truce to restore stability and unlock frozen Iranian funds and rebuilding aid—though key details remain uncertain.
