Lebanon tests US-Iran peace deal as ceasefire wobbles
TL;DR
Fresh fighting in Lebanon tests the US-Iran memorandum of understanding aimed at ending hostilities and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, as a planned envoy trip to Switzerland was postponed due to Israeli strikes; the MOU does not explicitly name Israel or Hezbollah, making Lebanon central to enforcing the broader ceasefire while negotiators push to resume talks.
