Pakistan behind confusion over Lebanon? Conflicting remarks from US & Iran puncture Asim Munir, Shehbaz Sharif's peacemaker plan

Less than 24 hours after a US-Iran ceasefire was announced, the agreement has been cast into doubt due to conflicting claims regarding its geographical scope. While US Vice President JD Vance explicitly stated the truce is limited to Iran and does not include Lebanon, Pakistans Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif publicly announced a broader agreement covering everywhere including Lebanon. This discrepancy, likely arising from differing drafts circulated by mediators, has led to Israel continuing strikes on Hezbollah.
