Donald Trump, President of the United States, stated that he expects a complete ceasefire involving Lebanon, Hezbollah, and Israel in relation to the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding (MOU).

On June 18, Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social, saying, "The United States is committed to peace," and urged all parties in the Middle East to uphold their commitments to ensure smooth negotiations.

He emphasized, "I expect a complete ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon, Hezbollah, and Israel." This suggests that the agreement should extend beyond merely halting military clashes between the U.S. and Iran to also encompass conflicts involving Lebanon and Israel-Hezbollah.

The two sides agreed to continue discussions for 60 days under the MOU. During this period, they aim to reach a final agreement on issues such as Iran's nuclear program, sanctions relief, and navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump also highlighted market reactions, asserting, "The markets are pleased with significantly lower oil prices and a substantial rise in stock prices."
