US President Donald Trump said Tuesday he hoped the Iran war would be in the “rearview mirror” soon, but details of the ceasefire deal are still a mystery and Israel’s presence in Lebanon remains a thorny issue.
The US vice president suggested the initial agreement was a “very general document”: The Wall Street Journal reported that the deal allows Iran to immediately begin selling oil and fuel, and Iran said that it ensures Israel will immediately withdraw from Lebanon — but Israel insisted its military will remain.
Trump admonished Israel for “vicious” attacks in Lebanon and reportedly refused Israel’s request to access the deal’s text, while striking a conciliatory tone on Iran, saying he was dealing with “very rational people.”
