“The language in Article 1 of the memorandum appears definitive on the surface but creates ambiguity, as Israel, which is not a party to the agreement, continues to view its positions in southern Lebanon as necessary for its security, while Washington has repeatedly affirmed Israel's right to self-defense, suggesting that Tehran and its allies may read the clause as implying eventual Israeli withdrawal, whereas the facts on the ground suggest a more complicated reality.”

Strengthened after Iran International reported it.
