President states ongoing conflict involving Hezbollah remains separate from truce with Iran
By yourNEWS Media Newsroom
Donald Trump said Wednesday that Lebanon is not included in the ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran, citing the presence of Hezbollah.
In an interview with PBS News, Trump said Lebanon was excluded “because of Hezbollah” but added that the situation would “get taken care of.”
The remarks came one day after the announcement of a two-week ceasefire between Washington and Tehran.
According to comments shared by PBS “NewsHour” correspondent Liz Landers in a post, Trump also addressed Israel’s continued military activity in the region, saying, “That’s a separate skirmish.”
Earlier Wednesday, Karoline Leavitt stated that Lebanon was not part of the ceasefire arrangement, according to a report by Axios.
The statements indicate that while the ceasefire applies to direct hostilities between the United States and Iran, related regional conflicts involving Hezbollah and Israel remain outside the scope of the agreement.
