Fox News, cited by Jin10 and reported by PANews on June 14, said the strike added friction to negotiations as an Israeli senior official denied responsibility and an Iranian lawmaker criticized the draft memorandum.
An airstrike in Beirut, Lebanon, has complicated efforts to finalize a US-Iran agreement, Fox News said in a report cited by Jin10 and carried by PANews on June 14. A diplomat involved in the negotiations said the strike was hindering progress and alleged Israel was trying to derail President Trump's deal. An Israeli senior official rejected responsibility for the attack and said Hezbollah attacks over the previous three days had targeted Israeli civilians. Separately, Iranian parliament economic committee member Zuhuriyan said the US-Iran memorandum under discussion contains flaws and ambiguities, but said it is inaccurate to describe it as worse than the Iran nuclear deal or as an Iranian surrender.
