The Trump administration gave Iran assurances that Israel would not intensify its anti-terror operations in Lebanon, according to a single report. The development follows earlier reports of mixed U.S. signals on Israeli freedom of action against Hezbollah.
A single report, attributed to a source described as 'REPORT,' claims that the Trump administration has assured Iran that Israel would not further escalate its military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon. The claim, posted from a channel affiliated with reports, lacks independent corroboration and the identity or direct access of the source remains unclear.
This comes amid a series of conflicting signals from Washington. As The Zioneer reported over the past week, President Trump on one occasion said the U.S. would 'unequivocally' defend Israel if it strikes Iran, while on another he reportedly ordered the U.S. military not to take defensive action on Israel's behalf. A senior Israeli official told Ynet that Israeli forces were at peak readiness for a broad Iran strike until a Trump call paused the operation.
The SAME-THREAD context item from earlier today (15:29 Jerusalem time) adds the assurance-on-Lebanon piece, but the report remains thin: a single, unverified claim. No official U.S., Israeli, or Iranian source has confirmed such an assurance.
