US-Iran War Live Updates: Hezbollah rejected a US-brokered ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon, demanding a complete Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon and vowing to continue resistance. The rejection threatens efforts to contain the fighting spilling over from the wider US-Iran war.
The development comes a day after Israeli officials warned that any violation of the proposed truce could trigger renewed military action, including strikes on Beirut. Earlier this week, Israel had threatened a major attack on Hezbollah strongholds in the Lebanese capital.
Despite the ceasefire announcement, exchanges of fire and Israeli strikes continued across southern Lebanon.
Meanwhile, there has been no major breakthrough on negotiations between Washington and Tehran while House has limited President Donald Trump’s own power to take major decisions on the war.
