Vance says Iran deal includes Lebanon
U.S. Vice President JD Vance has said that the expectd agreement between the United States and Iran could lead to a broader regional peace deal involving Gulf states, Israel and Lebanon, provided Tehran complies with the terms of any future agreement.
Asked whether Lebanon and Hezbollah would be included in such an arrangement, Vance said the envisioned agreement would encompass multiple countries across the region.
“It is a regional peace deal. It’s going to include the Gulf, it’s going to include Israel, it’s going to include Lebanon,” Vance said.
Asked whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would respect the deal, Vance said: “The idea is that if the Iranians comply, then we are going to have a true transformative deal for the Middle East."
