Claim 2: “a ceasefire with Iran does not extend to Lebanon”
DISPUTED
There is a direct contradiction between sources. Daily Maverick reports that Israel and the U.S. say Lebanon is NOT covered by the ceasefire, while other sources (Daily Maverick and an unknown source) report that Iran insists Lebanon MUST be included, and Al Jazeera reports Trump stated the truce would include Iran-backed Hezbollah.

Claim 4: “The Lebanese territory remains an active battlefield”
CORROBORATED
