Lebanon is actively seeking assistance from Iran to mediate a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel, aiming to implement UN Security Council Resolution 1701. The Lebanese government is striving to end the ongoing conflict that has resulted in significant casualties, with over 3,400 Lebanese reportedly killed by Israeli fire.
Hezbollah, backed by Iran, has escalated tensions by launching rockets into northern Israel. In response, Israel has intensified its military actions in Lebanon.
The US is involved in diplomatic efforts, with Ambassador Lisa Johnson presenting a ceasefire proposal to Lebanon's Parliament Speaker, Nabih Berri, representing Hezbollah in negotiations. Despite the turmoil, Iran has expressed its steadfast support for Lebanon, emphasizing solidarity with the Lebanese government and people.
Meanwhile, reports have emerged of Israel targeting a purported nuclear research facility in Iran, marking a significant development in the region's geopolitical landscape. The international community, particularly the US, is keen on de-escalating the conflict, with Iran giving Hezbollah the autonomy to decide on ceasefire talks.
The situation remains volatile, with efforts continuing to stabilize the region and prevent further loss of life.
