A senior adviser to Iran’s supreme leader warned of a stronger response to any new conflict, linking Lebanon’s security to ongoing regional negotiations and fragile truce efforts.

The attacks test a US-mediated deal to curb Israel-Hezbollah attacks, and new Israel-Lebanon talks in Washington.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir denounces the US-brokered ceasefire in Lebanon, declaring it a “grave mistake.” “Hezbollah has not left the area south of the Litani River, and the Lebanese army has no way of enforcing their removal,” the far-right minister writes on X.

The strikes come despite the US president saying both Israel and Hezbollah had agreed to dial back their attacks.
