The Wall Street Journal, citing its sources, reported that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was able to persuade Donald Trump that Israel should remain in Lebanon and take action against Iran.

The same report also said that U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance was forced to back down and supported an agreement described as favorable to Israel.

These claims come as any expansion of the conflict could directly affect the safety of civilians in Lebanon and the wider region. Further details of the report have not yet been independently verified.
