The Armenian foreign ministry has welcomed the 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon achieved through U.S. President Donald Trump’s mediation.

“We welcome 10-day ceasefire in Lebanon, achieved through POTUS’s ‘s mediation efforts, as an important step towards de-escalation. We hope that this development will contribute to comprehensive & sustainable peace in the region with respect of territorial integrity of the parties,” the Armenian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on X.

For the past six weeks, Israel and Hezbollah – an Iran-backed armed group – have been fighting in southern Lebanon. Israel’s strikes in Lebanon, which it described as targeting Hezbollah, killed over 2,200 people.

The U.S. State Department said in a statement “Lebanon and Israel have reached an understanding in which both nations will work to create conditions conducive to lasting peace between the two countries, full recognition of each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and establishing genuine security along their shared border, while preserving Israel’s inherent right to self-defense.”

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced that during the remaining period of the two-week ceasefire with the United States, Iran declares the Strait of Hormuz fully open to all commercial vessels, taking into account the ceasefire established in Lebanon.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun stated that the country’s authorities aim to strengthen the ceasefire regime with Israel and restore control over the entire territory of the country.
