While the Trump administration and Israel claim the Lebanon and Iran ceasefires are entirely separate, the sense of urgency from the White House over the last two days to get a ceasefire in Lebanon was driven by its efforts to reach a deal with Iran, a former U.S. official said. The Iranian foreign ministry welcomed the ceasefire in Lebanon and claimed it was part of the Iran-U.S. ceasefire understandings. The intrigue: Trump made his announcement shortly after Netanyahu convened his security cabinet for an urgent conference call to discuss the ceasefire and vote on it. The security cabinet also met on Wednesday night to discuss Lebanon but no decision was reached on a ceasefire. The Lebanese ambassador acknowledged in the meeting "that Hezbollah is a mutual problem for both Israel and Lebanon," a White House official said.
