Bantwala, August 31: A clash between two youth over money matter forced the police to cane the irate mob and caused tension at Kalladka in the taluk on Friday.

In a complaint lodged at the police station, Tamil Nadu-based Sathish who runs a salon shop said that a person named Khaleel has assaulted him. He said that Sathish had given money to Khaleel. But Khaleel did not return the money on time and was troubling him, it is said.

For the last few days, both of them have been engaging in verbal duals for the money matter. On Friday night, Khaleel barged into the salon shop of Sathish and assaulted him, according to the complaint.

Budapest/Washington: US Vice President J D Vance has said that Lebanon was never included in the ceasefire understanding with Iran, describing the confusion as a “legitimate misunderstanding”.

Speaking to reporters before departing from Hungary, Vance said, “I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon and it just didn’t. We never made that promise.”

He stressed that the United States had not included Lebanon in the scope of the ceasefire at any stage.

His remarks come amid continued Israeli strikes in Lebanon, where more than 200 people were reported killed, even as ceasefire talks between Iran and the US move forward.

Vance said Israel had “offered … to check themselves a little bit in Lebanon because they want to make sure that our negotiation is successful”.

He warned that if Iran allows the situation in Lebanon to affect the negotiations, it could derail the talks.

“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,” he said.
