- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains under pressure from President Donald Trump to resolve the conflict, though Trump remained noncommittal on a timeline while confirming a fiery phone call.
- While the two sides agreed to a ceasefire last month, hostilities continued, and Iran has stated it will not agree to any deal unless it covers Lebanon.
