A senior diplomatic source in the Gulf told the Lebanese newspaper Al-Diyar that U.S. President Donald Trump pledged to ensure Israel's withdrawal from all of southern Lebanon, provided that Lebanon joins the Abraham Accords. The report suggests that the implementation of this move might depend on a broader agreement or strategic understanding between Washington and Tehran, which could have immediate implications for the political and security situation in Lebanon, particularly concerning Hezbollah.
According to Al-Diyar, the Iranian leadership has explicitly asked Hezbollah not to join another war of support, aiming to prevent a deterioration that could lead to an explosion in the sensitive Lebanese arena. Concurrently, the British Maritime Authority reported an incident in the Strait of Hormuz, nine nautical miles north of Khassab in the Sultanate of Oman. A ship's captain reported observing another vessel on fire, with the condition of the crew currently unknown.
