Trump: ‘No troops’ to Lebanon, Hezbollah agreed to stop shooting

President Donald Trump on Monday stated that no American troops would go to Lebanon and that he had confirmed Hezbollah would end the fighting in that country after Iran suspended talks with the U.S. over continued fighting in the country.”I had a very productive call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, and there will be no Troops going to Beirut, and any Troops that are on their way, have already been turned back,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “Likewise, through highly placed Representatives, I had a very good call with Hezbollah, and they agreed that all shooting will stop — That Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel.”
Trump’s remarks follow Iran suspending talks with the U.S. over the continued fighting in Lebanon, with the Iranian foreign minister asserting that the ongoing ceasefire agreement included Lebanon.
“The ceasefire between Iran and the US is unequivocally a ceasefire on all fronts, including in Lebanon,” Iranian Foreign Minister Syed Abbas Araghchi posted to X. “Its violation on one front is a violation of the ceasefire on all fronts.”
Later in the day, Trump stated that negotiations with Iran were proceeding at a “rapid pace,” though he did not address the public comments from Iran.
