Israel-Lebanon ceasefire extended by 3 weeks, Trump says
A fragile truce between Israel and Lebanon has been extended by three weeks after representatives met at the White House. Global oil prices remain above $100 a barrel due to uncertainty over the US-Iran conflict resolution.
A ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon has been extended by three weeks following a meeting between Israeli and Lebanese representatives at the White House. The conflict between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah is a key issue in US-Iran peace efforts. President Donald Trump refused to give a timeline for resolving the Iran war, citing a lack of clear leadership in Iran. US military officials are developing plans to target Iran's capabilities in the Strait of Hormuz if the ceasefire fails. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi discussed regional developments and the ceasefire with Pakistan's army chief and Foreign Minister, highlighting Pakistan's facilitation role in the negotiations. Global oil prices rose, with Brent crude at $107.1 a barrel and WTI at $97.5 a barrel, due to the uncertain timeline for resolving the US-Iran conflict.
