Iran claimed Tuesday morning that US President Donald Trump has given his word that Israel will be compelled to withdraw from Lebanon. The statement, attributed by a single Israeli channel to an Iranian source, adds a new element to the ongoing diplomatic standoff over an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon.
Iran asserted Tuesday that US President Donald Trump has committed — reportedly giving his word — that Israel will be compelled to withdraw from Lebanon. The claim, carried by a single Israeli channel without named sourcing, was not immediately corroborated by other Israeli or international outlets. The statement comes amid a backdrop of intense diplomatic back-and-forth over a potential Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon. As The Zioneer has reported, Trump has in recent days voiced expectations for a withdrawal and pressed Prime Minister Netanyahu on the timeline, while Israeli leaders have publicly insisted they will not abandon northern residents or cede the security zone. The Iranian assertion introduces a new layer to the standoff: if confirmed, it would mark a public backing of Tehran’s position on Lebanon. However, with a single uncorroborated source, the claim remains unverified.
