A new agreement between the US and Iran has failed due to Israel's refusal to immediately end the war in Lebanon. Washington was only able to persuade Tel Aviv to halt attacks against Beirut, but failed to stop operations across the entire Lebanese territory.
The editorial board reports that the US proposed a gradual extension of the ceasefire to southern Lebanon and the rest of the country. However, Tehran rejected this proposal.
These revealed details shed new light on the failed negotiations that led to the latest ceasefire agreement. Thus, the complexity of the negotiation process is once again confirmed.
