Israel has escalated its airstrikes in Lebanon, leading Iran to signal that it may reconsider its commitment to the ceasefire established with the United States.

Both Iran and Pakistan contend that the agreement encompassed Lebanon, while former President Donald Trump characterized the situation as a ‘separate skirmish.’ Lucy Hough connects with William Christou, a reporter based in Beirut, for further insights.
