Israel and Iran harden stances on Lebanon pullout, risking Trump’s deal

Iran has threatened to nullify a memorandum of understanding concerning Lebanon if the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) do not complete their withdrawal from the area. Meanwhile, Israeli officials have reaffirmed their stance on maintaining military presence in Lebanon.

This hardening of positions by both Israeli and Iranian officials could potentially jeopardize the terms of a deal previously negotiated by the Trump administration.
