US-Iran Truce Should Extend to Lebanon, EU’s Top Diplomat Says

BRUSSELS, April ⁠9 (Reuters) – ⁠The ceasefire ⁠agreement between the ​United States and ‌Iran should extend ‌to ⁠Lebanon, ⁠EU’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas said ​on Thursday, adding that Iran-backed ​Lebanese group Hezbollah must ⁠disarm.

“Israeli actions ⁠are putting ⁠the U.S.-Iran ​ceasefire under severe strain. ​The ⁠Iran truce should extend to Lebanon,” ⁠Kallas said in a post on X.

“Israeli ⁠strikes killed hundreds last night, making it hard to argue that such heavy-handed actions fall within ⁠self-defence,” she also said.
