Lebanon ceasefire extended as Israel-Hezbollah clashes escalate in US-Iran war

Lebanon extends its 45-day ceasefire as Israel-Hezbollah clashes continue, while the broader US-Iran confrontation intensifies: Trump warns Iran of a “very bad time” if no peace deal is reached, and Europe is in talks with Tehran over Hormuz transit and fees. Iran signals openness to help from China, UAE rejects Iranian claims of involvement, the UK deploys anti-drone systems, and CENTCOM says it has redirected dozens of ships during its blockade ahead of planned June talks.
