Iran Israel War Live Updates: Oman pushes for diplomacy as Tehran and Muscat hold urgent talks to avert wider war
Israel conducted five airstrikes near the Syrian border in Lebanon’s Nabi Sreij area, killing 10 people earlier, despite a ceasefire with Hezbollah. Oman is mediating diplomatic efforts as Iran and Oman hold urgent talks to prevent escalation, while Pakistan’s army chief visits Tehran amid US-led peace proposals.
Israel carried out five airstrikes in Lebanon’s Nabi Sreij area near the Syrian border shortly before midnight on Saturday, targeting a region that had been spared since an April 17 ceasefire with Hezbollah. The attacks followed earlier raids that killed 10 people, according to Lebanese media and the Beirut government. Oman is actively pushing for diplomacy to avert a wider war, with Tehran and Muscat holding urgent talks to de-escalate tensions. The move comes as Iran weighs a new US peace proposal, though officials warn deep divisions remain unresolved. Pakistan’s army chief arrived in Tehran on Friday amid heightened diplomatic activity in West Asia. Iran is engaging with multiple stakeholders, including the US, to explore potential agreements while maintaining caution about unresolved disputes. The renewed Israeli strikes in Lebanon highlight ongoing volatility in the region, despite earlier efforts to stabilize the situation. Hezbollah’s ceasefire with Israel remains fragile, with both sides exchanging fire intermittently. The involvement of regional and global powers, including Pakistan and Oman, underscores the complex geopolitical dynamics at play. Iran’s response to the US proposal and its willingness to engage in further negotiations will be critical in determining whether tensions can be eased.
