Reports emerged on Sunday that a phone call from Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu to Vice President Vance during the Islamabad negotiations may have influenced the outcome of the US-Iran talks. The call reportedly came as the two sides were discussing the future of Lebanon, a key sticking point given Israel's ongoing strikes against Hezbollah. Netanyahu has publicly said he wants 'a real peace agreement that will last for generations' with Lebanon.
