U.S. President Donald Trump says Israel and Hezbollah have agreed to stop fighting or “dial back” attacks in Lebanon following calls and indirect contacts with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and communications with Hezbollah. Multiple outlets report Trump made the announcement after escalation involving Iran and Israel, including Iran’s missile salvo toward Israeli targets and subsequent Israeli strikes in the Beirut area. The claimed de-escalation includes Israel not sending troops into southern Beirut and Hezbollah promising to stop attacks, according to reports describing Trump’s account of the terms. Some sources also note that neither Hezbollah nor Israel had publicly confirmed the ceasefire at the time of the announcement, and details about implementation were unclear. Separate reporting describes Lebanon as central to broader U.S.-Iran diplomacy, with Iran-linked statements tying any progress in peace talks to a ceasefire holding in Lebanon. Other outlets add that negotiations and claims about ongoing U.S.-Iran contact appear contested, with Iran-linked reporting indicating disruptions even as Trump said talks were moving “at a rapid pace.” In follow-up reporting, Israel and Hezbollah exchange fire despite Trump’s announcement, underscoring uncertainty around whether the steps are holding.
