The first point in the US-Iran deal declares an “immediate and permanent” termination of military operations on “all fronts”, including Lebanon.
It also commits all sides to ensuring Lebanon’s “territorial integrity and sovereignty”.
Centred around 14 points, the memorandum of understanding also includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a requirement that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, a $300bn (£224bn) plan for Iran’s “reconstruction”, and the US terminating “all types of sanctions” on Iran.
US officials have previously said that while Lebanon was covered by the ceasefire framework, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanese territory was not a condition of the deal and that Israel would retain the right to self-defence.
