Hezbollah claimed Iran’s latest ceasefire proposal included guarantees for Lebanon as Israeli strikes intensified across the south. The group said Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi sent a message promising Tehran would “never abandon” Hezbollah amid fears of renewed U.S.-Israel military action. Reports also claimed Pakistani mediators carried Iran’s proposal to Washington. Meanwhile, Lebanon insisted its security talks with Israel must remain separate from U.S.-Iran negotiations. Fresh Israeli evacuation warnings and strikes in Nabatieh have now fueled fears that the Lebanon front could once again explode into a wider regional war.
