Iran-US war teeters as Trump peace pact strains, Israel pledges indefinite Lebanon presence

Iran-US war: Trump deal under pressure as Israel vows endless Lebanon stay

Israel launched fresh strikes in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, ignoring Tehran and Islamabad’s warnings that the Trump‑brokered peace agreement explicitly covered Lebanese territory. The move fuels doubts that the fragile détente between Washington and Tehran can survive on‑the‑ground realities. Reuters reports that Hezbollah’s militia has mobilized additional units, while the U.S. ↓ 10% reduction in regional troop deployments signals waning confidence.

“The cease‑fire framework is being tested in real time,” a senior State Department official told Bloomberg.

Analysts warn that without a rapid diplomatic reset, the Iran‑US war narrative could spiral, dragging neighboring states into a protracted conflict.
