Israeli Strikes Hit Lebanon After Ceasefire Deal
The United States and Iran agreed to a ceasefire. Hours later, Israeli air strikes hit Tyre and Nabatieh in southern Lebanon.
Israel says the ceasefire does not include Lebanon. But Pakistan says Lebanon is included.
The two countries disagree on what the deal covers. Iran will reopen the Strait of Hormuz as part of the deal.
Pakistan will host US-Iran talks on Friday in Islamabad. US Vice President JD Vance called the ceasefire a fragile truce.
Klear Note — The Strait of Hormuz is a shipping channel between Iran and Oman. One-third of world's oil passes through it. Closing it disrupts global energy markets.
Key Terms 3
- ceasefire an agreement to stop fighting
