Lebanese media tracked the sixth day of Israel-Iran confrontations through Trump's escalating involvement. Morning coverage focused on Israeli strikes targeting centrifuge facilities near Tehran, with Defense Minister Katz declaring a "hurricane" sweeping the Iranian capital.
French envoy Barak arrived in Beirut carrying what outlets described as warning messages, while Lebanese officials maintained calls for neutrality. Patriarch Raii questioned why Hezbollah wouldn't surrender its weapons, and Speaker Berri emphasized Lebanon's commitment to keeping UNIFIL forces in the south.
Trump's statements dominated afternoon headlines as he issued ultimatums demanding Iran end its nuclear program or face regime change, telling Khamenei "good luck" while maintaining ambiguity about potential strikes.
The day concluded with Wall Street Journal reporting that Trump had approved military plans to attack Iran without issuing execution orders. Lebanese outlets noted Iranian warnings that American intervention would bring Hezbollah into the conflict, while Macron opposed regime change citing Iraq's chaos as precedent.
