'End Of IDF Occupation': Iran Sets Major Lebanon Condition To End ... U.S. President Donald Trump publicly slammed Israel's latest strike on Beirut amid the peace negotiations between Washington and Tehran. During his remarks at the G7 Summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, Trump was asked whether the newly announced Iran deal could survive renewed tensions in Lebanon. The US President said the agreement remains intact but described Hezbollah as a recurring problem in the region. He also expressed strong disapproval of Israel's attack on Beirut, calling it “vicious” and “too much,” particularly given its timing just hours before the reported signing of the Iran agreement. Trump revealed that he conveyed his concerns directly to Israeli leaders and suggested that Syria should be allowed to handle Hezbollah instead. A Hague-based arbitration panel has dismissed several key Ukrainian maritime claims, including demands related to Crimea, the Kerch Strait, the Sea of Azov and the Crimean Bridge. Russia says the ruling unanimously rejected requests for compensation and challenges to Moscow's position on strategic waterways and regional sovereignty. The decision marks a significant developm…

Lebanon truce is key to ending Iran war but challenges remain | AP News A 10-day truce appeared to be holding in Lebanon early Friday, promising a pause in fighting between Israel and the Hezbollah militant group and possibly clearing one major obstacle to a deal between Iran and the United States and Israel to end weeks of devastating war. A fragile calm settled over parts of Lebanon on Friday as a 10-day ceasefire brokered by the United States took hold between Israel and Hezbollah, prompting thousands of displaced families to begin the journey home — even as uncertainty, destruction and Israeli warnings against going back to parts of southern Lebanon clouded their return.

Iran, the United States and Israel agreed to a two-week ceasefire, an 11th-hour deal that headed off U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to unleash a bombing campaign that would destroy Iranian civilization.

Trump’s Versailles Iran deal under fire as Lebanon ceasefire collapses and Israel stands apart eualive.net/trumps-versa... Critics on both sides of the Atlantic are already calling the document a U.S. capitulation that reads as if drafted in Tehran

Trump’s vacillation between threats and restraint is fueling tensions between the US and Iran, as Israel continues to bomb Lebanon. This sets a dangerous precedent where agreements are a political façade: they give politicians a ceasefire on paper while the underlying violence persists unresolved.

Hezbollah leader rejects Israel-Lebanon ceasefire Iran fired on Israel following Israeli strikes in the Lebanese capital Beirut. President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites. Following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire, initial U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan in April failed to reach a peace deal. Trump later announced the open-ended extension of the ceasefire and the continuation of a U.S. blockade until negotiations are concluded "one way or the other." Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem rejected the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon in a statement read on TV on Thursday, saying "as long as the occupation exists, the resistance will continue." Describing the negotiations between Lebanese authorities and Israeli part as "absurd, humiliating, and shameful" Qassem said that the negotiations are "completely rejected by broad segments of the Lebanese people." He added that the agreement's demand that Hezbollah should leave southern Lebanon while it is under fire would mean "surrender, defeat and achieving the enemy's goals." "The ceasefire must…

Why is Israel continuing to attack Lebanon, despite the ceasefire ... People gather at the scene of an Israeli airstrike in the Corniche el-Mazraa neighbourhood of Beirut, Lebanon, following Israeli strikes on April 8. Wael Hamzeh / EPA The ceasefire in the Middle East is on shaky ground. Israel continued its bombardment of Lebanon on Wednesday, claiming its activities there are not part of the deal with Iran. These attacks killed at least 254 people across Lebanon and injured over 800 more in what was Israel’s largest offensive of the war so far. Iran responded by closing the Strait of Hormuz again and threatened a “regret-inducing response” if the strikes continue. Donald Trump subsequently warned that US strikes on Iran would resume if it did not comply with the ceasefire. We spoke to Scott Lucas, an expert in Middle East politics at University College Dublin, who addresses several key issues. Why is there confusion about whether Lebanon was included in the ceasefire? Part of the problem is the nature of diplomacy in 2026. The Trump camp and Pakistan’s prime minister, Shahbaz Sharif, who has been a key mediator between the US and Iran since the start of the war, both issued sta…
