Several leaders from the Middle East and Gulf states praised Sunday night's agreement reached by the United States and Iran.

"I have followed with interest the announcement of the memorandum of understanding reached between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran, and what it includes in terms of affirming a halt to military actions and escalation in the region, including Lebanon," said Lebanese President Joseph Aoun in a Monday afternoon statement posted to X/Twitter.

Aoun added that he appreciated Lebanon's inclusion in the agreement, noting that the people of Lebanon "look forward to these understandings being transformed into practical steps that put a definitive end to the cycle of violence, and establish a phase of stability, security, recovery, and reconstruction."
