18.07.2026 ⇢ The Day Iran Froze Commitments and Aoun Flew to Washington
⌨
Editors led with the seventh night of US strikes on Iran and Tehran's retaliation against bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. By morning, President Aoun departed for Washington to meet Trump, carrying the southern Lebanon file. Israeli escalation continued in the south with raids, demolitions, and a blast that killed a Lebanese soldier in Mansouri. In the afternoon, Iran suspended its commitments to the US, and Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei warned of confrontation. The trilateral military meeting was postponed over pilot zone disagreements, while Rome talks reportedly kept Lebanon out of the US-Iran clash. Domestically, the Kataeb warned Hezbollah may confront the army, and the Lebanese Forces' withdrawal from parliament over amnesty remained a subtext.
