Israel strikes Beirut despite truce, prompting retaliation attempt from Iran
Israel struck the outskirts of Beirut on Sunday for the first time since the U.S. announced a truce plan for Lebanon last week, and Iran later fired missiles at Israeli targets, casting the talks to end the wider war into new jeopardy. Iran has long said any peace deal with the United States would depend on a ceasefire also holding in Lebanon, which Israel invaded in March in pursuit of Iran-backed Hezbollah fighters who fired across the border in solidarity with Tehran.

Israel conducted airstrikes on the outskirts of Beirut on Sunday, the first such action since a truce plan for Lebanon was announced last week. In response, Iran launched missiles targeting Israeli positions, which Israeli defense systems reportedly intercepted. These escalations have cast doubt on ongoing efforts to resolve the broader conflict. Iran's chief negotiator stated that U.S. bases and Israeli assets are considered legitimate targets due to hostile actions, including the recent strikes in Lebanon. Israel has indicated it will retaliate against any attacks originating from Iran.
The renewed hostilities between Israel and Iran jeopardize the fragile truce and peace negotiations aimed at ending the wider conflict.
