Lebanon and Israel are meeting in Rome on Tuesday and Wednesday to discuss the implementation of the framework agreement signed between the two countries in Washington last month. The agreement calls for an end to the Lebanon conflict, the disarmament of armed groups, the deployment of Lebanese troops to the south Lebanon and the progressive withdrawal of Israeli forces. Hezbollah and Israel have been at war since March 2.
Lebanon and Israel have resumed talks in Rome to implement the framework agreement aimed at ending the war in Lebanon. Israel is ready to move forward with plans to withdraw troops from two areas of south Lebanon under a United States-brokered deal. Lebanon's president instructed the delegation to demand the immediate withdrawal of Israeli forces from two designated areas in southern Lebanon before further discussions with the Israeli delegation.
The U.S. imposed a 20 percent toll on all traffic through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday. The reimposed blockade will heal some of the damage done to America’s strategic position in the region since April 7. The war was predicated on a regime-change plan driven by Israel.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targeted a US air base in Jordan with ballistic missiles on Tuesday. The IRGC called on Jordanians to demand the removal of American military bases from their country. Jordan's military said it intercepted four missiles launched by Iran.
The latest escalations undermine the ceasefire between the US and Iran. Almost half of the agreed 60-day period within which both sides were supposed to negotiate a final agreement has now passed. A renewed entry into the war by the UAE, which is allied with the USA, can no longer be ruled out.
Houthi group in Yemen fired missiles and drones on Saudi Arabia's southwestern region. It is the worst attack in several years and threatens to draw the Houthis into the regional conflict between Tehran and Washington. Saudi Arabia intervened in the Yemeni civil war that erupted around 2015 on its border to prop up the government after Houthis overthrew it.
