<\/source><\/picture>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n Israel on Friday carried out a wave of deadly strikes across Lebanon<\/a> in response to a Hezbollah attack that killed four soldiers in Lebanon \u2013 despite the US-Iran agreement declaring an end to the conflict on all fronts.\n <\/p>\n \n So <\/strong>where does this leave the Iran deal?\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cThe principal spoiler of any broader understanding with Iran remains Lebanon,\u201d wrote Danny Citrinowitz, former head of the Iran branch of Israel\u2019s military intelligence, adding that \u201cthe central question is how far the United States is prepared to go in enforcing a ceasefire that both sides interpret differently.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n The strikes came hours after the US and Iran postponed fresh talks in Switzerland, with US Vice-President JD Vance cancelling<\/a> a trip.\n <\/p>\n \n On Friday, a diplomat with knowledge of the matter told CNN that Iran asked for guarantees that hostilities in Lebanon will end before it resumes talks with the US.\n <\/p>\n \n Trump also said on social media<\/a> this week that as part of the deal, \u201cwe expect a complete Ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon, Hezbollah, and Israel.\u201d But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has previously made it clear he has no plans to withdraw from southern Lebanon.\n <\/p>\n \n On Friday, far-right members of Netanyahu\u2019s cabinet doubled down on the war in Lebanon after the killing of the <\/strong>Israeli soldiers. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said \u201call of Lebanon should burn<\/a>\u201d while Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said \u201cit is time to speak with fire.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
