US Vice President JD Vance indicated that Washington never gave Iran assurances that the ceasefire would include Lebanon, adding that he believes there was a "legitimate misunderstanding".
This comes following heavy Israeli strikes across Lebanon, killing over 250 people and injuring more than 1160 others.
“We never made that promise.”
