03.05.2026The Day of the Hormuz Rescue Operation

The day opened with reports of continued Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon and Hezbollah drone attacks, but the dominant story quickly became the Iranian 14-point proposal to end the war, which Trump dismissed. By mid-morning, the focus shifted to the US-led operation to free ships trapped in the Strait of Hormuz, announced by Trump for Monday. In the afternoon, Hezbollah admitted heavy losses in recent clashes, while the Lebanese army arrested a gunman in the southern suburb. By evening, Trump confirmed the operation, and Kataeb quoted Gemayel supporting Aoun's negotiation path while accusing Hezbollah of wanting to be the sole negotiator. The day's editorial focus was the Hormuz operation and the rejection of Iran's proposal, set against ongoing military escalation in the south.
