Details
According to Vance, any statements to the contrary are propaganda or a mistake that can be called "folly." As Vance said, "to derail a major deal over the situation in a neighboring country would be a strategic mistake."
If Iran wants to allow these negotiations to fall apart - in a conflict where they have been so heavily involved - over Lebanon, which has nothing to do with them and which the United States has never said is part of a ceasefire, then that is ultimately their choice.
He added that Tehran might be a victim of its own illusion, as the Iranians simply "thought" that the ceasefire extended to Lebanon.
