US-Iran truce should extend to Lebanon, EU’s top diplomat says

-

BRUSSELS, ‌April 9 (Reuters) - The ​ceasefire agreement between the ⁠United States and Iran should extend to ​Lebanon, EU's top diplomat ‌Kaja Kallas said on Thursday, adding that Iran-backed Lebanese ⁠group Hezbollah ⁠must disarm.

"Israeli actions are putting the U.S.-Iran ceasefire under severe ‌strain. The Iran truce ⁠should extend ‌to Lebanon," ​Kallas said in a post on X.

"Israeli ‌strikes killed hundreds ​last ⁠night, making it hard ‌to ⁠argue that such heavy-handed actions fall within self-defence," ​she also ‌said.
