๏ธ๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ท๐ฑ๐ง๐ฑ๐ง American Secretary of State Rubio rejects Iran's demand to include Lebanon in the ceasefire negotiations, and insists that Washington negotiate Lebanon's future directly with Lebanon and not with Tehran:
"Why should we negotiate Lebanon with Iran? What is Iran's connection to Lebanon? I mean, they can claim what they want, but Lebanon is its own country. To understand the future of Lebanon, we will deal with Lebanon, not with Iran."
Rubio also accused Iran of standing behind Hezbollah, accusing the group of wreaking havoc in Lebanon.
