Strait of Hormuz appears to remain closed amid conflicting US and Iran briefings
theguardian.comThe biggest problem here is that I can totally see Iran being consistant and including Lebanon in the ceasefire.
And I can also see the US administration agreeing to something and then claiming they didn't.
Trust in these administrations negotiations must be at an all time low. At least in times past they pretended to follow along, and used black ops to hide violations, Israel is dragging the US into something it really shouldn't be getting involved in and it's going to end really badly.
Pakistan (the mediator) doesn't think it included a ceasefire in Lebanon against Hezbollah.
> I can also see the US administration agreeing to something
Can you see the US specifically agreeing to a ceasefire against Hezbollah? That sounds very unlikely.
Why should the US not get involved in terrorist attacks on a bunch of its allies, including attacks on US citizens?
> Pakistan (the mediator) doesn't think it included a ceasefire in Lebanon against Hezbollah.
Citation.

> The US and Israel have indicated Lebanon does not form part of the agreement, while Pakistan - a key mediator in the talks - has said it does.
Pakistan disagrees with you.
The sad part is that the media has been caught lying and fabricating so much stuff you can't believe what they say anymore. It's hard to know who to trust. Especially the BBC, which has been caught doctoring video (and just downright lying in articles) quite often.
Hence why I've asked for a citation.
> quite often.
Citation on it being "quite often". There was one on a Panorama documentry.

But to go back to the original point that Pakistan claims it was part of the deal. If you don't like BBC then how about

Is there an HN-like site for foreign policy and war news?
Asking the US to support Hezbollah in Lebanon, and allow the IGRC the ability to enrich unranium, is deeply ignorant of the realpolitik. The US is going to cycle IRGC leadership until it gets what it wants.
