Report: US-Iran MOU to include Lebanon in 60-day ceasefire; Netanyahu not briefed on talks

Primary source Internal intake · 1 reviewed intake signal · Desk window 17:37

TL;DR

An unverified report from the Times of Israel claims the emerging US-Iran memorandum of understanding would incorporate a 60-day ceasefire in Lebanon, with Prime Minister Netanyahu kept unaware of the details during the talks. The report has not been confirmed by official Israeli or American sources.

01 · THE DISPATCH

A report published by the Times of Israel, citing an unspecified source, says the US-Iran memorandum of understanding under negotiation includes Lebanon in a 60-day ceasefire framework. The report also claims Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not briefed on the discussions — a detail that, if confirmed, would mark a significant divergence in US-Israeli coordination. The report follows a series of unverified claims about the MOU's contents: earlier today, Reuters reported that Iranian speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf and US Vice President JD Vance are expected to sign the document, and that Tehran seeks to include an end to hostilities in Lebanon as part of the deal. As The Zioneer previously reported (June 11, 20:46), Iran has claimed the Lebanon ceasefire text is finalized; Israeli sources maintain significant gaps remain. The current report, attributing its information to an anonymous party, adds the element of Netanyahu being kept in the dark. The report is unverified; no Israeli or US official has confirmed its contents.
