US President Donald Trump says he wants additional “surgical” attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Speaking in an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press,” recorded on Friday and broadcast Sunday, Trump argues that any future actions should be more targeted and “surgical.” The remarks have been widely read as support for additional Israeli strikes, including in Lebanon’s areas near Beirut associated with Hezbollah activity. Trump also comments on his wider approach to regional diplomacy, saying he is “very close” to a deal with Iran. In parallel, Trump indicates that he is not requiring the Lebanon/Hezbollah conflict to be part of a peace agreement with Iran. The outlets reporting on the interview describe Trump’s comments as both a call for further military pressure on Hezbollah and a signal that the Iran track remains active even as fighting continues in Lebanon.
