US-Iran MoU and Lebanon ceasefire dispute: As the US and Iran move toward signing a memorandum of understanding in Switzerland, Iran’s top diplomats and military commanders insist the “end of war” must include Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon, while US officials and Israel reject that linkage—leaving the Lebanon file as the biggest unresolved political snag. Israeli strikes despite the deal: Lebanon reported drone strikes in Nabatieh (including Mayfadoun and Shoukin) that killed four, even as violence had eased elsewhere; Lebanon’s army also urged displaced residents to delay returning amid risks of violations. Iran retaliation warnings: Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya warned Israel of a “harsh response” after claiming 84 ceasefire violations in southern Lebanon. Trump vs Netanyahu: At the G7, Trump publicly rebuked Netanyahu over Lebanon tactics, saying Israel doesn’t need to “knock down an apartment house” to target Hezbollah and urging “more responsibility,” even floating that Syria could handle Hezbollah. Human rights pressure: Human Rights Watch said Israeli authorities are accelerating demolitions and forced evictions in East Jerusalem’s Silwan, while Amnesty International accused Israel of expanding “no return” evacuation orders in Lebanon since 2024. On-the-ground impact: Reports from southern villages described cautious returns meeting destroyed homes and ruined livelihoods, with UN-linked warnings not to rush back.
