Lebanon has received a clear warning from Israel regarding its potential involvement should a war with Iran erupt. According to sources cited by Saudi channel Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, Israel has cautioned Lebanon that if Hezbollah terrorists join Iran's side in a conflict, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) may launch large-scale strikes. The consequences of such an operation would remind Beirut of previous conflicts, and this time, the military action could extend significantly beyond a single day.

Meanwhile, a source involved in closed-door negotiations between Iran and Qatar in Doha reported no progress in the talks. "Nothing is moving forward. Iran has not budged an inch," the source stated, describing the Iranian delegation as unable to make decisions, questioning their capacity to reach an agreement with the United States. The source indicated that the outcome is known and hinges on when and how President Trump will make his decision, with other aspects already agreed upon. While Tehran might consider concessions regarding the Strait of Hormuz, its conditions remain excessive.

In related security measures, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has proposed extending the state of emergency in the home front nationwide until November 3, 2026. He cited the ongoing threat of attacks on the civilian population, attributing the risks to the unstable regional situation and escalating tensions on the Iranian and Lebanese fronts, according to security agencies.
