US President Donald Trump has assured that Israel will no longer be attacking Lebanon, as they have been “prohibited from doing so by the USA”.

In a post on Truth Social, he adds that the US will work with Lebanon separately to resolve the Hezbollah issue “in an appropriate manner”.

Additionally, Trump says the US will “get all nuclear ‘dust’ from Iran and that “no money will exchange hands in any way, shape or form”.

Axios had reported earlier that Washington was considering a $20 billion cash-for-uranium exchange.
