He said Iran's team thought the deal from Tuesday covered Lebanon too, but the U.S. never signed off on that part. Vance chalked it up to a real mix-up. No games. The U.S. stance keeps the truce laser focused on Iran itself, plus allies like Israel and the Gulf air of states. At Bumsheads with Pakistani Prime Minister Shabash Sharif, who mediated the talks and publicly claimed Lebanon was in the mix. Vance noted Israel stepped up, agreeing to dial back operations in Lebanon to boost the negotiations odds of sticking.
