Middle East ceasefire on brink of collapse
Published 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
A ceasefire agreement in the Middle East faces collapse within 24 hours of its announcement after Israel launched strikes across Lebanon, killing at least 200 people including civilians. Iran claims the strikes violated the ceasefire and has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, while the US disputes Iran's claims and insists Lebanon was never part of the deal. Tehran and Washington are scheduled to send negotiators to Pakistan in three days if the fragile ceasefire holds.
