An American official said Thursday that the U.S.-brokered framework agreement between Israel and Lebanon soon will shift to technical discussions in Rome. The deal had been stagnant for several weeks. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomatic details.
The U.S. launched new airstrikes against Iran early Thursday, hours after President Donald Trump said recent Iranian attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz signaled the end of the ceasefire and threatened to escalate the conflict if they didn’t stop. Iran responded by targeting U.S.-allied Kuwait and Qatar and accused the U.S. of striking near its sole nuclear power plant.
