Last update: 11 hours agoLebanon–Israel talks: Lebanon is set for its first direct military talks with Israel, with expanded delegations meeting in Washington next week; the Lebanese team will be led by the army’s operations directorate and will focus on consolidating the ceasefire and detailing what the army has restricted and documented in southern Lebanon. US–Iran diplomacy under strain: Iran and the US say talks are progressing, with mediators pushing to extend the ceasefire by 60 days and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but key gaps remain—Tehran says some issues will be settled only in the next few days. Security shock in Washington: A shooting near the White House briefly locked down the complex and disrupted the high-stakes weekend of Iran negotiations. Energy ripple effects: With Hormuz risk still hanging over markets, the region’s chokepoint politics continues to feed uncertainty and costs. Local context: Lebanon’s unresolved financial and banking disputes are still driving new obligations for authorities, even as war dominates daily life.
