Israeli attack on Beirut Suburbs to Prevent Iran–US Peace Deal

At least three people were killed and six injured in Israeli airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs (Dahiyeh). Israel said it targeted Hezbollah positions in response to projectiles fired toward northern Israel, which it called a ceasefire violation.

The escalation comes amid sensitive US–Iran negotiations over a possible agreement, with officials warning that continued strikes on Beirut could derail talks. Iranian officials said the attacks crossed a “red line” and would not go unanswered, while also suggesting the violence could undermine diplomatic efforts involving a memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran.
