In the Middle East, Iran and Israel exchanged their first direct strikes overnight since the truce concluded two months ago, before the two countries announced they wanted to stop the attacks.

Donald Trump is also said to have put pressure on Israel to avoid further escalation, revealing the growing tensions between Washington and the Israeli government. This sequence could also accentuate political divisions in Lebanon.
