Middle East Tensions Surge as Iran Talks Stall and Front-Line Flare

A Jerusalem Post live blog tracks rising tensions in the region: Donald Trump calls Iran’s latest peace proposal unacceptable and weighs restarting Project Freedom; in combat updates, the IDF targets Hezbollah in southern Lebanon after rocket fire, interceptors are fired, and an IDF helicopter evacuation briefly stalls but is not hit, with three soldiers wounded in a drone strike. The day also features UK sanctions on Iran-linked individuals, a second Qatari LNG tanker passing Hormuz, Iran saying its oil sector is adapting to US blockade pressure, and Lebanon urging the US to pressure Israel amid ongoing casualties.
