Israel and Lebanon Meet in Washington Amid Iran-US Tensions
Israel and Lebanon are set to meet in Washington to discuss extending a fragile 10-day ceasefire, while Iran-U.S. talks remain stalled. The meeting comes as Iran intensifies its actions in the Strait of Hormuz, seizing two ships and firing on a third. The U.S. has maintained a blockade of Iranian ports, and President Trump has extended a ceasefire, but Iran has accused the U.S. of negotiating in bad faith. The situation in the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted oil exports, affecting global markets.
