US-Iran truce should extend to Lebanon: EU's top diplomat

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-defense," she ⁠also said.
