Israel carried out air strikes on Hezbollah targets in southern Beirut on June 13-14, 2026, killing at least three people as part of the Israel-Hezbollah conflict centered in Lebanon. Iran's foreign ministry responded by warning that the strikes undermine peace negotiations, though Trump and US officials signaled a deal to end the conflict was still 'very close' to being finalized. The strikes create immediate pressure on fragile negotiations — if the deal collapses, the conflict could escalate across the broader region, pulling Lebanon deeper into the fighting. Both Israeli and Iranian negotiators have competing incentives: Trump wants a deal sealed before it unravels, while Iran uses each escalation as leverage to extract better terms.
