Iran demands ceasefire in Lebanon as Israel advances and strikes intensify

Escalating violence in southern Lebanon comes as Iran pushes for a ceasefire amid growing tensions. Israeli forces continue their advance in key zones, while heavy air strikes have hit multiple cities, including Tyre and nearby areas. Civilians are bearing the brunt of the conflict, with casualties rising and infrastructure under severe strain. Hezbollah has reiterated its refusal to engage in direct negotiations with Israel, vowing to continue fighting. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited troops in southern Lebanon, signaling that military operations will continue despite upcoming diplomatic talks. As both sides prepare for discussions in Washington DC, uncertainty remains over whether a ceasefire is achievable — or if the conflict will escalate further.
