Lebanon-US Security Push: U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met PM Nawaf Salam and Finance Minister Yassine Jaber, urging Beirut to take “decisive action” to disrupt Iranian and Hezbollah financial networks while pushing banking reforms. Diplomacy on the Table: Lebanon’s PM also pressed for activation of the trilateral framework with Rubio, as Washington ties any stability to expanded state control and Hezbollah disarmament. Southern Lebanon Under Strain: Israeli strikes and ceasefire violations continued in the south, with reports of large explosions and shelling hitting towns including Zawtar and Aitaroun, as UNIFIL warned about risks from any security vacuum. Aid and Army Support: The Lebanese army received 47 Humvees and five trucks under U.S. assistance, while Jordan sent its 14th humanitarian convoy to Lebanon with 20 trucks of food supplies. Regional Pressure Point: Iran’s leaders escalated threats while waiting on a formal U.S. response over a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, linking any deal to sanctions relief and frozen funds. Nasrallah Anniversary Narrative: Iran-backed outlets marked Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s second anniversary with claims he institutionalized “deterrence” and built a structure meant to outlast him.
