Secretary of State Marco Rubio<\/span> has for months been working to seal an agreement between the Israeli and Lebanese governments to clamp down on Hezbollah and allow Israel to withdraw its forces from Southern Lebanon. Then, last week, the future of Lebanon appeared front and center in the new agreement between the United States and Iran championed by Vice President Vance\u2014giving Tehran a big say in Lebanon\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

The result is that the U.S. is now negotiating over one country on two different tracks\u2014led by two men with significantly different styles and worldviews. Rubio is more of a globalist and more conventional in his approach, emphasizing government-to-government talks and diplomatic process. Vance, who privately voiced his concerns about conflict with Iran in the lead-up to the war, is pugnacious and transactional. The president\u2019s top-two emissaries also happen to be the highest-profile potential candidates to succeed him.<\/p>\n

Vance and Rubio\u2019s delicate diplomatic dance aims to solve an issue that has bedeviled generations of American peace efforts. Already, there is some confusion. Although the two men are working in close coordination, they have offered seemingly contradictory visions of where Lebanon fits into the puzzle. Yet their joint efforts could determine not just what happens in Lebanon but also whether fighting between Hezbollah and Israel scuppers the whole Iran peace process.<\/p>\n

U.S. officials initially resisted including the conflict in Lebanon on the list of issues to solve with Iran, the most prominent of which is preventing Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon. But they conceded to Iran\u2019s demand to include Lebanon on the agenda in order to restart negotiations and to address Iran\u2019s use of proxy groups to carry out attacks across the region. The first paragraph of the 14-paragraph memorandum of understanding that President Trump signed last week mentions Lebanon three times, including: \u201cThe final deal will confirm the permanent termination of the war on all fronts, including in Lebanon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vance is leading the negotiations with Iran, which include persuading the Islamic Republic to pull back its support for Hezbollah in return for financial relief. Neither Israel nor Lebanon is party to those talks. Rubio\u2019s separate negotiations are designed to empower the beleaguered Lebanese government and provide Israel with enough assurance to withdraw.<\/p>\n

Rubio\u2019s efforts have yielded some progress. Top diplomats from Israel and Lebanon signed a framework agreement at the State Department yesterday after four days of talks, with Rubio looking on. A statement from the State Department described a \u201cclear and structured process\u201d to empower Lebanon\u2019s government and disarm Hezbollah. The framework includes $100 million in humanitarian assistance in coordination with the United Nations, plus additional aid to Lebanon\u2019s Armed Forces. \u201cWe don\u2019t in any way underestimate the difficulty of the task ahead,\u201d Rubio said.<\/p>\n

Vance, meanwhile, has taken a more transactional approach in a bid to secure an end to a war that Trump is desperate to put behind him, according to people familiar with the president\u2019s thinking. Vance also appears willing to muscle Israel into accepting whatever outcome the Iran talks deliver. He has been blunt that he expects the Israeli government to fall in line and stop criticizing U.S. efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cDonald J. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world \u200cwho is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this \u200cmoment in time,\u201d Vance told reporters at a recent White House briefing. \u201cIf I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left \u200cin the entire world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Any number of variables could sink their combined efforts. Israeli forces continue to clash with Hezbollah on the territory that Israel has seized. What if Israel, citing the need for its own self-defense, keeps launching strikes within Lebanon, or refuses to rescind its control of nearly one-fifth of Lebanon\u2019s territory? (Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last week that troops would remain in Southern Lebanon for \u201cas long as Israel\u2019s security needs require it.\u201d) What if Hezbollah attacks Israeli territory while Iran and the U.S. are still negotiating? What if Israel resumes attacks on Iran? What if Iran attacks Israel?<\/p>\n

The Trump administration believes that its military and economic confrontation with Iran means that the conditions are ripe for the lasting peace that has eluded previous generations. And White House officials say that there is no daylight between what Vance and Rubio are each seeking to achieve. \u201cThere is one camp\u2014President Trump\u2019s camp\u2014and the entire administration is fully behind the President\u2019s efforts to ensure Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon,\u201d the White House spokesperson Anna Kelly told me in a statement.<\/p>\n

But history offers a warning. After Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982, then\u2013Secretary of State George Shultz led a grueling diplomatic effort to broker peace between the two countries. The agreement, signed the following year, ended the war and was hailed as a diplomatic triumph. But it collapsed within a year amid fierce backlash in the region. Lebanon slid further into chaos, with Iran-backed proxies targeting U.S. forces. In October 1983, a suicide bomber killed 241 American service members in Beirut.<\/p>\n

“Don\u2019t underestimate the complexity of Lebanon and how it can burn different parties if they don\u2019t respect all of these underlying dynamics and tensions that are at play,\u201d Mona Yacoubian, the director of the Middle East Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, in Washington, D.C., told me. \u201cIt\u2019s like a Rubik\u2019s Cube: How do you align all of these factors?\u201d<\/p>\n

Israel and Lebanon have sat<\/span> for negotiations four times since Israel\u2019s founding, in 1948, and three of those talks, including the current ones, were brokered by the United States. The two sides agreed to a cease-fire at the end of 2024, in the waning days of the Biden administration, but hostilities simmered. In the months before the U.S. and Israel launched the war on Iran in late February, Hezbollah continued to launch drones and missiles against civilian targets in Israel, and Israeli air strikes on Lebanon surged in response, according to the Norwegian Refugee Council.<\/p>\n

In early March, after the assassination of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Tehran vowed retaliation and instructed members of its so-called Axis of Resistance\u2014regional militant groups supported by Iran\u2014to prepare for escalation. Hezbollah was the first to act, launching fresh attacks on Israel. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun accused Hezbollah of giving Israel \u201can excuse\u201d to attack Lebanon. Israel invaded Southern Lebanon in March, an operation that has killed at least 3,500 people and displaced more than 1 million, according to the United Nations.<\/p>\n

The flare-up quickly transformed Lebanon from a peripheral concern into a central question hanging over the Iran war and the nascent peace talks. Iranian officials argued that regional stability\u2014including guarantees related to Lebanon\u2014could not be separated from any lasting agreement with Washington and must be included in their negotiations.<\/p>\n

Lebanon\u2019s government has long been weakened by political divisions, economic collapse, and discredited state institutions. Hezbollah maintains its own paramilitary force and exercises significant political influence, giving it authority that the Lebanese government has struggled to dismantle on its own.<\/p>\n

For weeks, Vance and Rubio maintained that Lebanon was a separate issue from the Iran negotiations. In April, Vance argued that Iran would be \u201cdumb\u201d to \u201clet this negotiation fall apart, in a conflict where they were getting hammered, over Lebanon, which has nothing to do with them.\u201d He also acknowledged that Israel had offered to \u201ccheck themselves a little bit in Lebanon\u201d to keep talks alive.<\/p>\n

Vance\u2019s remarks at the time were in response to Iran\u2019s effort to rewrite the deal and incorporate a term into the emerging cease-fire agreement that hadn\u2019t been previously agreed to.<\/p>\n

Then, early this month, Iran attacked Israel, saying that Israel had violated the April cease-fire by attacking Lebanon. The episode was a turning point for U.S. negotiators, including Vance. They concluded that no deal with Iran would be likely if the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah wasn\u2019t addressed, even if that meant importing the long-standing conflict into a short-term agreement that was principally designed to open the Strait of Hormuz and set the terms for talks over Iran\u2019s nuclear program.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hope will be that, through these discussions, we\u2019re able to help create a new angle in the direct Israel-Lebanon discussions that maybe provide a framework in order to help bring that situation to a better place,\u201d a senior U.S. official told reporters in a call last week announcing the 14-point MOU. The official did not sound particularly hopeful. \u201cSo we\u2019ll see,\u201d he added. \u201cLook, this is primarily about Iran\u2019s nuclear, but one of the things we\u2019ll discuss after nuclear is going to be regional stability.\u201d Whereas Lebanon is repeatedly mentioned in the MOU, Israel is not named once.<\/p>\n

Rubio, meanwhile, has been arguing that the question of Israel\u2019s relationship with Lebanon needs to be handled separately because \u201cLebanon is a sovereign country,\u201d he told reporters in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, and any diplomatic engagement must be conducted with the Lebanese government.<\/p>\n

Rubio has framed Iran\u2019s role in supporting Hezbollah as an external issue rather than a core component of the negotiations he is overseeing. Negotiating with Iran at the table, in his view, risks strengthening Iran\u2019s role in Lebanon and weakening Lebanon\u2019s own government.<\/p>\n

Regional officials and analysts I spoke with agree. They note that a broader U.S.-Iran agreement that delivers a cease-fire and requires Iran to rein in its proxies, including Hezbollah, actually gives Iran leverage by linking it, for better or worse, to the fate of Lebanon. Iran has an interest in preserving its foothold at Israel\u2019s doorstep but can proffer its influence over Hezbollah as a bargaining chip, knowing that the U.S. will have to sell any final deal to both the Israeli and Lebanese governments.<\/p>\n

Yacoubian believes that Rubio\u2019s approach is necessary for any of this to work. \u201cIf this is done right, it could actually be a way to minimize Iran\u2019s long-term influence in Lebanon by minimizing the role of Hezbollah\u201d while strengthening the government in Beirut, she said.<\/p>\n

But by excluding the Lebanese government from the U.S.-Iran talks, which Vance is overseeing, \u201cyou further weaken the Lebanese government, and you play into Iran\u2019s approach, which is to essentially go over the heads of the Lebanese government and work directly with its proxy,\u201d Yacoubian noted.<\/p>\n

Vance and Rubio have taken steps to minimize mixing the messages, with Rubio publicly dismissing any suggestion that there is a contradiction in their efforts. They held a joint call this week with the Lebanese president, updating him on the status of the U.S.-Iran negotiations and on the potential for a joint \u201cmonitoring mechanism\u201d to implement a recent, shaky cease-fire that aims to halt hostilities in Lebanon. (The State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigot said that depictions of the two men being on different pages is a \u201cfake narrative.\u201d)<\/p>\n

Trump, meanwhile, has threatened to go back to bombing Iran if he doesn\u2019t like what he sees. \u201cIran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble,\u201d he said on social media earlier this month. \u201cIf they don\u2019t, we\u2019ll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!!”<\/p>\n

Given how often Trump has threatened to resume the war without following through, and given his determination to move on, that prospect alone appears unlikely to intimidate Tehran.<\/p>\n

Untangling what the U.S. and Iran<\/span> are looking to accomplish has become more difficult as the list of grievances on the table stretches far beyond the nuclear issue. The terms of the MOU were put under even greater strain yesterday with Iran\u2019s drone attack on ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump called the attack a \u201cfoolish violation\u201d of the cease-fire, and U.S. forces launched strikes yesterday evening on Iranian military sites.<\/p>\n

All of that complexity makes Trump\u2019s stated goal of securing a nuclear agreement with Iran that he regards as stronger than the Barack Obama\u2013era nuclear deal substantially harder to achieve.<\/p>\n

The negotiations that produced the highly technical 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action took years to finalize, and Tehran faced not only the United States but also Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China, and the European Union across the table. The deal focused overwhelmingly on constraining Iran\u2019s nuclear program in exchange for gradual sanctions relief.<\/p>\n

Trump ripped up that deal in 2018 and has been obsessed with besting it with his own. But Vance and Rubio\u2019s diplomacy is taking place under very different circumstances. Iran has been emboldened by its ability to survive weeks of fierce U.S. and Israeli bombings. And Washington is negotiating largely on its own, with a much wider set of problems to address.<\/p>\n

The lesson from the Obama years was that even narrowly focused talks over Iran\u2019s nuclear program are a grueling exercise. The lesson of decades of past efforts is that no Middle East conflict exists in a vacuum. The next few weeks will signal whether Vance and Rubio can defy the odds.<\/p>\n
