US forces have struck Iranian sites on day 94 of the conflict, while Kuwait intercepted missiles and Israel deepened its offensive into southern Lebanon. No peace deal has been reached, and the conflict's spread toward Gulf states raises direct risks for energy supply and oil prices.
Lebanon's Health Ministry says Israeli attacks have killed 2,883 people and injured 8,787 since March 2. The toll adds pressure on diplomatic efforts as President Trump travels to China with Iran tensions already shaping the regional agenda.
Trump called Iran's response to US nuclear proposals "unacceptable," while Iran's military said it is ready if war with the US and Israel resumes. The exchange signals a sharp breakdown in diplomacy, keeping oil markets on edge and raising the risk of renewed regional conflict.
Israel killed at least 24 people in Lebanon strikes on day 72 of the war, while Iran has yet to respond to a U.S. proposal to end the conflict. Tehran's silence blocks any broader regional ceasefire and keeps oil market risk premiums elevated.

Israeli strikes across Lebanon killed at least 19 people despite a US-brokered ceasefire being in place. A new round of talks is expected next week, signaling the agreement is under serious strain.
Israeli strikes killed 31 people in southern Lebanon on Friday, including a rescue worker, Lebanon's National News Agency reported. The strikes come as the US awaits Iran's reply to a peace proposal, with reported clashes near the Strait of Hormuz adding pressure on energy markets and diplomacy.

Iran is reviewing a US nuclear proposal delivered via Pakistan, as Trump says talks are progressing. A deal could unlock Iranian oil exports and push global crude prices lower, while Israeli strikes on Beirut add regional pressure to the negotiations.
Trump said he will review a 14-point plan Iran submitted but expressed doubt a deal is possible. The development comes as Israel continues striking Lebanon, keeping the region on a volatile diplomatic and military knife-edge.
Israeli strikes have killed at least 14 people in south Lebanon after the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire broke down. Israel has warned civilians to leave towns beyond the existing buffer zone, pointing to a possible expansion of military operations. The situation risks wider displacement and renewed escalation along the
Israel has issued forced evacuation orders for parts of southern Lebanon, escalating tensions under the existing ceasefire. Israeli PM Netanyahu accused Hezbollah of undermining the truce, a charge Hezbollah rejected. The standoff raises the risk of renewed military conflict along the Israel-Lebanon border.
The Israeli military said Saturday its troops in southern Lebanon identified fighters who crossed north of a newly established 'Yellow Line,' a Gaza-style boundary defining ceasefire enforcement zones. Israel framed the crossing as a ceasefire violation, asserting the right to respond. The durability of the ceasefire
Iran publicly rejected claims by Donald Trump as 'false' while peace negotiations over regional tensions continued.

President Trump claimed the US will retain all radioactive material from B-2 bomber strikes on Iran's nuclear sites, describing it as 'nuclear dust' with no money exchanged. He also stated Israel has been barred from further attacks in Lebanon, signaling a potential constraint on Israeli military operations in the
President Donald Trump announced a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, pausing active hostilities. The limited timeframe suggests a tactical pause rather than a lasting resolution, keeping geopolitical risk elevated. No enforcement mechanism or formal guarantors were disclosed.
