The day opened with Israeli vows to continue operations across Lebanon and Trump urging Netanyahu not to retaliate against Iranian missiles. By dawn, Israeli strikes hit western and central Iran, and Iran's IRGC launched 'Operation Victory' against Israeli airbases. Houthis imposed a Red Sea blockade. Mid-morning, US envoy Issa met President Aoun, warning against expansion. By noon, Iran declared an end to operations but cautioned against continued strikes on south Lebanon. Afternoon saw Netanyahu claim Iran and Hezbollah were weakened but war unfinished, while Aoun told CNN he would not meet Netanyahu before a final agreement. A fabricated AI video of PM Salam was debunked. The day's arc moved from open Iran-Israel exchanges to a fragile halt, with Lebanon's south still under fire and diplomatic channels tested.
