Dozens dead in Beirut. Iran prepares attack “after Israel’s violation of the ceasefire in Lebanon and against Hezbollah”.

The US President stated that the ceasefire agreement between Iran and the United States does not apply to Lebanon, although Pakistan, the mediating country, initially stated that the agreement covered Lebanese territory.

“They [Líbano] were not included in the agreement”, these Donald Trump, arguing that this front of the conflict in the Middle East is not covered by the ceasefire due to the pro-Iranian Shiite movement Hezbollah, in statements on the “News Hour” program on the North American public radio station PBS, cited by international agencies.

When the two-week ceasefire was held, the Prime Minister of Pakistan (the mediating country in the conflict), Shehbaz Sharif, said that the ceasefire applied “everywhere, including in Lebanon and elsewhere”.
