President Trump said a peace deal with Iran was still close and would be signed on Sunday, June 14, 2026. He called on Iran to stop Hezbollah's actions in Lebanon and threatened to conduct further military strikes against Iran if those actions continued. Trump criticized an Israeli strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs and said the strike should not prevent a peace deal with Iran. He also pressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end attacks in Lebanon as negotiations neared, but Netanyahu defied that pressure.

Israel conducted strikes at about 30 locations in southern Lebanon, according to ABC Australia, and Israeli airstrikes killed at least 30 people in eastern and southern Lebanon on Saturday, according to Al Arabiya. The strike on Beirut’s outskirts triggered a protest from Iran, as reported by Al Monitor, and Iran threatened to retaliate militarily, according to Hindustan Times. Civil Defense in Beirut retrieved three bodies and six wounded from the rubble after the strike, as reported by TribLive.

A ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah took effect on Friday, according to the New York Post, but one outlet reported that Israel continues to violate the ceasefire. Hezbollah is described as a Tehran ally by Al Arabiya. Peace talks between senior U.S. and Iranian officials began in Switzerland, according to Al Arabiya.
