Iranian media outlets have signaled talks between Tehran and Washington are ongoing, a day after reports that Iran suspended them. But the country’s top negotiator threatened escalation if Israel’s attacks on Lebanon continue.
High-stakes talks between Israel and Lebanon have wrapped for the day and will continue tomorrow at the US State Department. The talks come after Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah and the Israeli military traded strikes overnight.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said the Israeli military would keep striking southern Lebanon “as planned,” hours after US President Donald Trump declared that Israeli forces would not move on Beirut. Sources say a call between the two leaders became heated.
