President Donald Trump has voiced criticism against an Israeli military strike on Lebanon, which has complicated negotiations for a crucial peace framework between the United States and Iran. Despite this setback, Trump maintains that an agreement is close to completion, emphasizing the need for all parties to de-escalate conflicts.

Iranian negotiator Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf accused Israel's actions of highlighting America's inability to uphold its commitments, warning of a potential strong response from Tehran. The Israeli attack in the southern outskirts of Beirut aimed at Hezbollah militants, further straining U.S. attempts at a diplomatic settlement.

Tensions have risen as Israel has announced it will maintain military operations in Lebanon, drawing criticism for possibly intending to derail peace efforts. Negotiations continue amid uncertainties, with mediators expressing optimism but recognizing that the ongoing conflict could affect the deal's finalization.
