Israeli war on Hezbollah in Lebanon is not covered by the cease-fire between the United States and Iran, President Donald Trump said Wednesday.
"They were not included in the deal," Trump said, according to a social media post by PBS News Hour correspondent Liz Landers. He added that it was "because of Hezbollah," the Iran-backed group.
"That'll get taken care of too," he reportedly said, adding: "That's a separate skirmish."
Iran and the U.S. agreed on a two-week cease-fire and the temporary reopening of the Strait of Hormuz overnight under a last-ditch deal to avert a massive wave of strikes threatened by Trump.
The Israeli military announced a halt to attacks on Iranian targets, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Lebanon was not included in the ceasefire, although mediator Pakistan said it does.
