According to Iran and Pakistan, which mediated the two-week temporary ceasefire, the truce also covered the fighting in Lebanon. Trump said Iran was doing a “very poor job” of allowing oil to go through the strategic waterway, which Washington claimed was part of the two-week ceasefire. Iran listed its demands for a comprehensive agreement ahead of the Pakistan talks in its 10-point plan document. The gaps are enormous on every clause and it is difficult to see a comprehensive agreement being reached in the remaining 11 days of the two-week ceasefire period. The talks between Israel and Lebanon face a different obstacle.
