Iran has asserted that the emerging agreement with the United States includes an American withdrawal and an immediate halt to hostilities in Lebanon, according to a single source report cited by Israeli media. The claim follows a phone call between President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu earlier tonight, and after hours of reports that a US-Iran framework is nearing finalization. No official Israeli or US confirmation of the full terms has been released.
A fresh Iranian claim asserts that the draft US-Iran agreement includes a full American withdrawal from the region and an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon, per a single source cited by an Israeli media report overnight Sunday. The assertion comes hours after President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke by phone late Sunday evening, in a call that multiple sources described as addressing the emerging framework.
Tehran's language — 'American withdrawal and immediate cessation of hostilities in Lebanon' — echoes phrasing that appeared in earlier Iranian statements over the past week. As The Zioneer reported at Mon 07:02 Jerusalem, Trump and Pakistan jointly announced an agreement with Iran covering all fronts, including Lebanon, with Tehran separately confirming the ceasefire and saying it waived retaliation against Israel. At Mon 00:36 Jerusalem, Amichai Stein and Barak Batch of i24NEWS reported that the draft pact includes an immediate Lebanon ceasefire, though without the 'American withdrawal' language now being cited. At Sun 22:49 Jerusalem, a report indicated the US was trying to persuade Iran with an offer tying Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon to de-escalation, but the current claim presents a US withdrawal as a direct term.
The current claim pushes the narrative further by explicitly linking a US military withdrawal to the deal, a detail that has not been confirmed by Washington, Jerusalem, or any Western official. The single-source nature of the report — via a single source — keeps the confidence level at Developing. No independent Israeli or American source has corroborated the assertion of an American withdrawal as part of the terms. The claim adds to a week of conflicting reports: on June 11, Tehran asserted the Lebanon ceasefire text was finalized and that the US would compel Israel to end the war, while later in the week the Israeli military and political echelons maintained that significant gaps remain.
The key open question is whether Washington has in fact agreed to a withdrawal component, or whether this is an Iranian maximalist framing of a softer compromise.
