Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea published Vice President J.D. Vance's reply to an earlier letter, in which Vance pledges that Iran will not have a significant role in shaping Lebanon's agenda and that Hezbollah will be restrained in adhering to agreements set by the U.S. and Lebanon. The correspondence was reported by the 301 the source.
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea released Vice President J.D. Vance's written reply to a letter Geagea had sent days earlier. In the response, Vance commits that Iran will not be given a significant role in determining Lebanon's political agenda and that Hezbollah will be restrained from violating agreements set by the United States and Lebanon.
Geagea had earlier appealed to Vance to support the Lebanese state and its institutions over Hezbollah, urging Washington to permanently exclude Iran from Lebanese affairs. The reply, published by the 301 the source, reinforces the Trump administration's stated position that Hezbollah must be reined in and that Tehran should not dictate Lebanon's future. The Zioneer has previously reported on U.S. efforts, including direct warnings to Iran, to limit Hezbollah's operational freedom and ensure Israeli security on the northern front.
The exact text of Vance's letter was not provided in the report. It remains unclear whether the pledge represents a formal administration policy or a personal diplomatic exchange.
