Middle East ceasefire fragile as Israeli attacks kill 250+ in Lebanon
Fragile ceasefire declared in Middle East appears to be holding except for Israeli attacks on Lebanon that killed over 250 people on Thursday. Isolated drone and missile attacks occurred in Arab countries Wednesday with no deaths reported. Most attacks ended by Thursday. Direct talks expected to commence in Pakistan on Friday with US Vice President JD Vance leading the American delegation and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi leading the Iranian team. The White House dismissed Iran's 10-point proposal as "unserious and unacceptable" just one day after Trump called it workable. Meanwhile, Trump threatened 50% tariffs on countries supplying weapons to Iran and warned of larger attacks if no deal is reached.
