U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance said the emerging U.S.-Iran peace agreement is a regional accord that will include the Gulf states, Israel and Lebanon, according to a statement he published. Vance's remarks, circulated Wednesday morning, expand on his earlier vision for the deal and come amid reports that a framework is nearing finalization.
Vice President J.D. Vance on Wednesday outlined the scope of the emerging U.S.-Iran regional peace agreement, saying it is a regional accord that will include the Gulf states, Israel and Lebanon. The statement, published Wednesday morning, reaffirms and expands on Vance's earlier remarks from earlier in the week, when he laid out a vision for a regional peace deal involving the same parties and attacked critics of the nuclear deal as wanting 'endless conflict.'
Vance's latest statement comes as multiple reports describe the framework as nearing finalization. As The Zioneer reported on Monday, an emerging agreement reportedly includes an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon (i24NEWS). Earlier reports also suggested the deal includes a clause allowing Israel freedom to operate in Lebanon, while Hezbollah-linked outlets claimed Iran received U.S. approval for Lebanon to be included in a comprehensive regional deal.
The administration's position — that the agreement is regional in scope and explicitly includes Lebanon — has been consistent across several statements by U.S. officials, though the precise terms and Israel's formal accession remain unconfirmed by official Israeli or U.S. channels.
