Following reciprocal attacks, Iran declared a conditional halt to its strikes, contingent on Israel ceasing operations in southern Lebanon. However, Israel has rejected these terms, with its Defense Minister stating the country "will continue to act" against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Recent Israeli military actions have included bombings in Beirut's southern suburbs and Tyre. This follows previous reports of Hezbollah rejecting a truce agreement. Former US President Donald Trump also commented on the situation, advocating for more "surgical" strikes against Hezbollah. The ongoing developments indicate persistent tensions in the region.
