The emerging US-Iran agreement includes a clause that would allow Israel to operate freely in Lebanese territory and continue its military operations there, according to a Pakistani source cited by an unverified report. The claim, if accurate, would counter earlier leaks suggesting the deal requires a sweeping ceasefire on the Lebanon front.
A single unverified report, citing a Pakistani source, claims the US-Iran agreement under discussion includes a clause explicitly preserving Israel's freedom of military action in Lebanon. The claim stands in tension with earlier reports and leaks describing the deal as demanding a comprehensive ceasefire on the Lebanon front and an Israeli withdrawal — a contradiction that the desk's own prior coverage has tracked for days.
As The Zioneer reported Tuesday, senior Israeli officials have stressed that the emerging deal does not limit IDF operations in southern Lebanon, and that Israel is determined to strike deep if Hezbollah resumes fire. A Hezbollah-linked source, Al-Akhbar, earlier reported that Iran secured American consent for Lebanon's inclusion in the deal, while a US official stated the memorandum covers 'the entire region, including Lebanon.'
The Pakistani-sourced claim — at odds with multiple other leaks — has not been corroborated by any official Israeli, US, or Iranian source. It remains unclear whether the report reflects genuine terms of the draft or cross-signaling by a party outside the direct negotiations.
