What happened

US President Donald Trump believes that an agreement with Iran is possible regardless of whether hostilities between Israel and the Hezbollah movement continue in Lebanon.

Why it matters

When asked by a reporter whether it will be possible to get a deal with Iran without seeing an Israeli cessation of their hostilities in Lebanon, Trump replied: "I think it would." "We're trying to separate it," he continued.

Common ground

<…> I'd like to have a separate thing, because it is, it is separate." In his words, Washington recently held contacts with Hezbollah for the first time.
