Guterres called for restraint and a comprehensive ceasefire as Israel struck Hezbollah targets and Iran warned of retaliation.
- On Sunday, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned Israeli strikes on Beirut, calling for maximum restraint from all parties amid diplomatic efforts between the United States and Iran.
- The Israel Defence Forces conducted the operation in Beirut's southern suburbs following what it described as Hezbollah fire at northern Israel, despite expectations of an imminent ceasefire deal.
- President Donald Trump criticized the operation, stating the strike 'should not have happened' while negotiations with Iran were nearing completion, and urged all sides to avoid further escalation.
- Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr warned Tehran would respond, asserting that violating the Islamic Republic's 'red lines' would not be tolerated and stating 'a response is ahead.'
- In April, Israel and Lebanon began direct talks in Washington to halt hostilities, with a fifth round scheduled later this month, though neither side has respected the ceasefire announced in April.
