A U.S. official told Israeli journalist Guy Alster the memorandum of understanding with Iran includes an end to the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, according to a report published Wednesday evening. The statement is the latest in a series of U.S. and Iranian acknowledgments that the MOU's scope extends beyond Iran's nuclear program to the regional conflict architecture.
A U.S. official told Israeli journalist Guy Alster that the memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran includes ending the war 'on all fronts, including Lebanon,' according to a report published Wednesday evening. The source did not elaborate on the MOU's specific provisions or confirm reports published earlier Wednesday by Saudi network Al-Arabiya alleging the full text includes a $300 billion reconstruction fund and full sanctions relief.
As The Zioneer reported Wednesday at 10:07 Jerusalem, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance had already acknowledged the regional scope of the MOU, saying in a statement earlier Wednesday that the agreement includes ending the war on all fronts including Lebanon. Vance's remarks marked the first explicit U.S. confirmation on that point. Tuesday's White House statement on the agreement also referenced a cessation of fighting in Lebanon. The remarks from a second U.S. official reinforce that Washington views the framework as covering the Lebanon theater, though Israel's position on joining the arrangement remains unstated.
The authenticity of the full MOU text, including the $300 billion fund and timeline for troop withdrawal, has not been confirmed by the U.S., Israel, or Iran. The current report does not address Israel's stance on the framework.
