A White House official said Trump’s Iran deal does not include Israel’s conditional withdrawal from Lebanon amid its conflict with Hezbollah.
Vice president JD Vance has claimed that Donald Trump may decide to release Washington’s agreement with Iran before Friday.
The agreement, which was electronically signed by leaders in the US and Iran, is expected to be signed in person at a summit in Geneva at the end of this week.
Vance told CNN that the memorandum of understanding was a general document running to no more than a page and a half, and that a lot of the details would be worked out during future negotiations.
Trump had previously said that the text of the MOU would be released “pretty soon… sometime after Friday”.
Earlier, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he and Trump “don’t always see eye-to-eye” after the US president grew frustrated at Israel’s attacks on Lebanon. Netanyahu was asked about his
relationship with Trump during a press conference which came after the US president announced he had signed a peace agreement with Tehran.
Trump had earlier described his Israeli counterpart as a “very difficult guy” who should be “very thankful” to the US. Netanyahu said they were partners, and that they often agree but sometimes disagree.
