Israel says Lebanon not in ceasefire deal
However, Israel maintained that the “two-week ceasefire does not include Lebanon”, according to Al Jazeera.
According to Israel, the country is supporting "the US efforts to ensure that Iran no longer poses a nuclear, missile and terror threat”, although Iran is not known to currently possess nuclear weapons.
Reacting to Israel's action against Lebanon, Iran warned that the move was a “flagrant violation” of the ceasefire.
According to Sky News, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian insisted that the Islamic Republic will never abandon Lebanon. This is ahead of the negotiation day between Iran and the US that is scheduled to take place in Pakistan on Friday, April 10.
Reactions as Iran speaks on Israel vs Lebanon
Reactions have started trailing the condemnation of Israel by Iran. Below are some of their reactions:
Miso_Jikijela faulted Israel:
"It's not the regime, it's the Iranian government. The regime of Israel is the one that continues to kill people. I guess the devil in them wants blood at all costs. When they are not doing anything, they kill innocent people in Palestine just for fun, and the sad thing is that they have infected Donald Trump with their demonic tendencies."

Cherry described the development as a dirty deal by the US:
"'Fragile ceasefire'? We know why! Trump loves the chaos because he wins every time! While Iran and Israel fight, America sells the oil and Europe pays the bills! This is not politics, it's just a dirty business deal! The world is being fooled! Wake up, everyone!"
Hiren Kothari called for calm:
"Ceasefire was good and was a must for Peace. Big egos are satisfied. Now, the complex process to make a real agreement begins. It’s not easy as it is between two different countries that have hated each other for five decades & no one trusts each other. But as they say, God is doing. Be calm!"
Frances questioned Trump's administration:
"Trump attacked President Obama’s Iran deal, calling it “the worst deal ever.” When you compare the details side by side, the difference is glaring. Obama’s agreement imposed real limits on Iran’s nuclear program. Trump tore that deal apart and replaced it with… what exactly?"
