Summary
Iran halts talks with the U.S. over Lebanon ceasefire, citing unresolved violence that’s killed thousands and triggered a global energy crisis. Conflicting claims swirl: a former U.S. president says he brokered a truce between Israel and Hezbollah, while Iran insists no peace deal is possible until fighting stops. Netanyahu offers cautious support for a Beirut truce if Hezbollah halts attacks, but vows to keep striking southern Lebanon. Asian markets dip amid uncertainty, Iran threatens to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, and U.S. forces intercept Iranian missiles. Negotiations are suspended as pressure mounts on the former president to end the war — before it fuels further unrest and economic fallout.
