[quote=Anonymous]President Donald Trump claimed in response to questions from PBS that Lebanon was “not included in the deal,” calling it a “separate skirmish.” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt later reiterated the claim at a White House press briefing, saying, “Lebanon is not part of the ceasefire, that has been relayed to all parties involved in the ceasefire.”

In response, Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi reposted the original statement from Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announcing the ceasefire and highlighted the text of the agreement that stipulated an “immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon.” Araghchi wrote, “The Iran–U.S. Ceasefire terms are clear and explicit: the U.S. must choose—ceasefire or continued war via Israel. It cannot have both. The world sees the massacres in Lebanon. The ball is in the U.S. court, and the world is watching whether it will act on its commitments.”

Iran’s speaker of parliament Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf also posted a statement outlining what it said were violations of key clauses of the agreement framework, including “non-compliance with the first clause of the 10-Point Proposal regarding the ceasefire in Lebanon.”

Niku Jafarnia, a Beirut-based lawyer and researcher with Human Rights Watch, said the attacks hit densely populated areas without warning. “Under the laws of war, parties to a conflict must take all feasible precautions to avoid or minimize the incidental loss of civilian life,” she told Drop Site.

Striking “within the heart of the civilian population shows a callous disregard for the civilians living in these areas.”
