Israel-Hezbollah strikes put Trump’s Iran deal at risk

Israeli strikes on Beirut and Hezbollah drone attacks on Israel have thrown a proposed U.S.-Iran agreement into doubt, as President Donald Trump pressed both sides to avoid further escalation. The Israel Defense Forces said it hit a Hezbollah command center in Beirut after aerial attacks from Lebanon targeted Israeli civilians and troops in southern Lebanon. Trump said Washington still expected an agreement with Tehran that would halt fighting and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Public details reported by U.S. and Iranian officials point to a memorandum of understanding that would extend the ceasefire for 60 days, begin talks over Iran’s nuclear program and sanctions relief, and include steps tied to inspections and curbs on Tehran’s regional support network. In Israel, critics across the political spectrum attacked the emerging terms as too weak.
