Disputes emerge over terms of US-Iran ceasefire as Israel strikes Lebanon
A fragile two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran faces challenges as the parties disagree on whether the agreement covers Israeli operations in Lebanon.

A two-week ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran is facing significant challenges as the parties dispute the terms of the deal and Israeli military operations in Lebanon continue.
Israel launched strikes on Lebanon Wednesday that killed at least 250 people, according to Lebanon's Ministry of Health. The attacks have drawn sharp criticism from Iran, which claims the strikes violate the ceasefire agreement.
Iran's parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf issued a statement accusing Israel and the US of violating several clauses of the provisional ceasefire. Iranian officials also said they have halted the passage of oil tankers in response to what they describe as Israeli ceasefire breaches.
However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu maintains that the temporary agreement does not include operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Israeli and US officials appear to disagree with Iran and mediator Pakistan about whether Lebanon is covered under the ceasefire terms.
President Trump has posted warnings on social media directed at Iran regarding compliance with the agreement. According to a Daily Mail poll, American voters expressed relief that Trump chose diplomatic engagement rather than military escalation.
The ceasefire was announced amid broader regional tensions, with the agreement intended to provide a temporary halt to the conflict. The disagreement over terms and continued military operations have raised questions about the durability of the arrangement.
