U.S. President Donald Trump has warned he is “ready to go” back to war with Iran if no agreement is reached before the ceasefire expires tomorrow. Diplomatic efforts to end the U.S.–Israel conflict with Tehran remain highly uncertain, with Iranian officials insisting they will not negotiate under the “shadow of threats” or while facing a U.S. naval blockade.
Meanwhile, violence continues to escalate across the region. In the occupied West Bank, Israeli settler gunfire has killed two people, including a child, according to the Palestine Red Crescent Society. The ongoing unrest underscores the fragile and deteriorating security situation as tensions ripple beyond the immediate conflict zone.
Elsewhere, Joseph Aoun has called for national unity ahead of upcoming ambassador-level talks with Israel in Washington, D.C., scheduled for Thursday. At the same time, Israel has continued airstrikes in southern Lebanon, wounding six people in Qaaqaaiyet El Jisr and demolishing homes in Khiam, actions reported to violate a 10-day ceasefire.
