Last update: 11 hours agoUS-Iran Escalation: The US began “self-defence” airstrikes on Iran after Trump blamed Tehran for downing a US Army Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz; Iran retaliated with attacks hitting Bahrain, Kuwait and reportedly an air base in Jordan, while oil prices slid on expectations of shifting traffic through the strait. Lebanon Front: Israel struck Tyre again and expanded evacuation orders, including for the city’s Christian quarter, as Lebanon’s health ministry put the Lebanon death toll since March at 3,666 with 11,321 injured; UN officials warned the humanitarian situation in southern Lebanon is deteriorating. Ceasefire Pressure: The renewed violence threatens US-brokered efforts and complicates talks on a wider Iran deal, with Trump and Israeli leaders trading warnings as Iran links any settlement to Lebanon. Regional Politics: Trump floated involving Syria in a “surgical” push against Hezbollah, reviving fears of a wider Lebanon role for Damascus. Transport Update: Lebanon–Cyprus ferry service was delayed again, now expected to resume June 19.
