US Vice President JD Vance revealed on Wednesday that Iran's negotiators mistakenly believed the US-Iran ceasefire included Lebanon, despite Washington's clear intentions to focus on Iran and US allies.
According to Reuters, Vance stated that the agreement was intended to focus on Iran and America's allies, including Israel and Gulf Arab states.
However, Israel launched its deadliest strikes on Lebanon since the conflict with Hezbollah began last month, killing over 250 people, as the Iran-backed group resumed rocket fire on northern Israel.
Vance will lead the US delegation in Islamabad talks, alongside special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, with the first round of talks scheduled for Saturday morning local time.
Vance suggested that the US and Iran agree on more aspects of a peace deal than they disagree on, saying disputes over a few issues 'must mean there's a lot of points of agreement.'
