Emerging Iran deal said to include clause to end fighting in Lebanon

Elaborating on the terms of a reported one-page framework deal taking shape between the United States and Iran, Channel 12’s Barak Ravid says the agreement would include a ceasefire in Lebanon, separate from the one agreed to by Jerusalem and Beirut last month, which has reduced, but not stopped, the fighting.

The agreement “would end the war throughout the region, including in Lebanon,” according to the Hebrew network.

Such a move would mark a significant shift, as the ceasefire reached last month with Iran did not extend to Lebanon, where Israel has been fighting against Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah. Instead, a separate US-brokered truce was reached there between Israel and Lebanon, which both seek to keep the Lebanese front distinct from the Iranian file.

It is not clear from the report whether such a ceasefire would include the withdrawal of IDF troops from Lebanon or if it would instead restore the terms of the ceasefire that was in place from November 2024 until Hezbollah resumed its attacks on Israel over the war with Iran in March.
