• Iran war live: Trump says war ‘close to over’, Israel pounds Lebanon

Contesto

President Donald Trump declared the escalating military conflict in the Middle East is "close to over," even as Israeli forces intensified a punishing aerial campaign against targets in southern Lebanon. The statement, delivered from the White House, came alongside the announcement that a second round of diplomatic talks aimed at de-escalation could be held in Pakistan. Meanwhile, a naval blockade of key Iranian ports in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz remains in effect, severely restricting the flow of oil and goods from the Islamic Republic. The President's optimistic assessment stands in stark contrast to the reality on the ground. For days, Israeli warplanes have pounded Hezbollah positions and infrastructure across Lebanon's border region, responding to what it describes as an unprecedented rocket barrage launched by the Iran-backed militant group. The strikes have caused significant damage and raised fears of a broader, protracted ground invasion. The violence marks the most severe flare-up between Israel and Hezbollah since their 2006 war, threatening to draw the region into a wider conflagration. Central to the crisis is the ongoing blockade of Iranian ports by a U.S.-led naval coalition. The move, a response to what Washington and its allies call provocative Iranian actions and support for proxy forces, has effectively choked off a critical artery of the global economy. Iran, a major oil exporter, has seen its shipments grind to a halt, triggering volatility in world energy markets and raising concerns about retaliatory actions against commercial shipping in the strategically vital waterways. The proposed shift of diplomatic negotiations to Pakistan represents a significant and unexpected development. The first round of talks, held in a neutral European capital, yielded little progress. Selecting Pakistan, a nuclear-armed nation with complex relationships with both the United States and Iran, as a potential venue suggests a search for a mediator perceived as more acceptable to Tehran. However, analysts question whether the venue change can bridge the fundamental gaps, with the U.S. and Israel demanding a complete cessation of Iranian support...
