UN to Mediate US-Iran Ceasefire with Lebanon's Conditional Inclusion

The United Nations has appointed a special envoy to restructure the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire framework, introducing a phased approach that aims to satisfy both US and Iranian demands. The initial phase will involve a truce excluding Lebanon, while a subsequent phase will bring Lebanon under a monitored ceasefire contingent on specific conditions and a verification timeline. This strategy addresses regional tensions as protests escalate in Tehran and Israeli airstrikes continue against Hezbollah, complicating Lebanon's position in the negotiations.
