- Rising U.S.-Iran tensions have prompted the U.S. State Department to order non-essential staff to leave the U.S. embassy in Beirut on Monday, as Iran and the U.S. prepare for nuclear talks in Geneva on Thursday.
- Since the November 2024 ceasefire, Israeli forces inflicted heavy losses on Hezbollah during the 2024 war, killing Hassan Nasrallah and many fighters, and have continued near-daily strikes.
