Iran deal threatens to fall apart before it's signed with firm Israel response to clause

 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly told President Donald Trump that Israel does not have to follow the stipulations in the emerging peace deal between the U.S. and Iran for the fighting to end in Lebanon, according to new reports.

Israeli officials added that Jerusalem wouldn't accept a deal that limits its ability to act against Hezbollah.

Earlier Sunday, both Trump and Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif confirmed that a deal had been reached between the U.S. and Iran, and it would be signed in Switzerland this Friday. It comes amid reports that Trump tried to access the US nuclear launch codes - before one man stopped him with a brutal 1-word response.

Sharif had noted in an X post that the deal would cease all military operations between the U.S. and Iran effective immediately, including Lebanon.

"Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon," Sharif posted on X.

Israeli officials added that Netanyahu reportedly told Trump that Israel wouldn't withdraw from Lebanon, reports Ynetnews.

The IDF will keep its position in Lebanon and complete operations against threats from Hezbollah, such as destroying terrorist infrastructure and responding to attacks on Israel.

Further reporting from the news outlet indicated that Israel's Security Cabinet ministers are in support of Netanyahu staying grounded regarding its interests in Lebanon.

Sharif's announcment of the cessation of fighting in Lebanon has apparently become a flashpoint for Israeli leadership, as Israeli forces and the Irann backed terorr group have been clashing from across the northern border.

Israel argues that it must have the freedom to strike Hezbollah to protect northern communities and prevent the group from regrouping its forces near the border.

Israeli officials assessed overnight that Tehran had chosen to "close the incident" by avoiding an attack on Israel following an Israeli strike in the Dahieh district of Beirut, a known Hezbollah stronghold in the Lebanese capital.

Iran threatened retaliation, but it is believed by Israeli officials that pressure from the U.S., as well as mediations underway, have led Tehran to stand down so as not to fracture the peace agreement.

Senior Israeli officials said the Lebanon clause is "something we will have to stand firm on anyway if we are asked to make withdrawals there," the news outlet reported.

Earlier Sunday, President Donald Trump said the Iran deal will reopen the Strait of Hormuz to restore traffic through the critical shipping corridor, allowing for oil to resume flowing through.

Trump, who is branding the peace agreement as the "Great Deal," said the Strait of Hormuz will reopen upon the deal's signing on Friday. The deal is expected to be signed in Switzerland on June 19, as Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif previously stated.

"With the opening of the Strait upon the signing of the Deal on Friday, for purposes of mine removal, oil will flow on both ends again for the Region, and the World!" he wrote.

The president claimed that he was the first president to achieve peace with Iran, claiming that although many of his predecessors who attempted " all have failed before me."
