A Pakistani source reported that a separate provision concerning Lebanon is included in the recent US‑Iran memorandum of understanding. According to the source, Israel interprets this clause as granting it permission to continue military actions in Lebanon. The source added that each party gains something from the agreement, with Israel’s share being the ability to proceed with operations. A second source described the clause as "very vague and broad," but confirmed that Israel views it as a license to maintain its engagements and military activities in Lebanon.
