The day's dominant editorial focus was the start of US-Iran talks in Switzerland, with Lebanon as the first agenda item. Morning headlines reported delegations arriving and an emergency session on Lebanon added to the schedule. Hezbollah-aligned media framed the talks as a response to Israeli violations, while anti-Hezbollah outlets highlighted US pressure to stabilize the ceasefire. By midday, Israeli Defense Minister Katz declared no withdrawal and no limits on operations, directly contradicting the diplomatic track. Trump threatened to bomb Iran and impose Hormuz tolls if no deal was reached, prompting the Iranian delegation to briefly walk out. Hezbollah released a video of a drone strike on an Israeli vehicle in Arnoun, and its leader Qassem vowed to confront any occupation. The day closed with reports of US pressure on Israel to reduce forces in the south, and Syrian leader al-Sharaa expressing openness to dialogue with Hezbollah.
