Sri Lanka, April 9 -- United States Vice President JD Vance has warned Iran that it would be "dumb" to jeopardise its ceasefire with Washington over Israel's attacks in Lebanon.

Although Pakistan, which mediated the truce, said explicitly that Lebanon is included in the two-week ceasefire, Vance told reporters that the US did not agree that Israel would stop attacking the country.

"If Iran wants to let this negotiation fall apart - in a conflict where they were getting hammered - over Lebanon, which has nothing to do with them and which the United States never once said was part of the ceasefire, that's ultimately their choice," Vance said as he left Hungary on Wednesday.

"We think that would be dumb, but that's their choice."
