The US has not formally asked Israel for a ceasefire in Lebanon and it is not part of the peace talks with Iran. But, the President would welcome and be happy to see an end to the fighting as part of an agreement between Israel and Lebanon, via Axios

Context

The U.S. not formally requesting a ceasefire in Lebanon indicates a cautious stance on escalating tensions in the region. While the lack of direct involvement could signal a longer-term diplomatic resolution, it keeps geopolitical risks on the table, potentially impacting currencies like the USD, JPY, and GBP, as well as safe-haven assets like gold. Watch for any market reaction around energy prices, especially if conflict disrupts supply flows.
