As U.S.-Iran peace talks kick off in Islamabad this weekend, a new challenge looms: escalating tensions between Israel and Lebanon. The fragile two-week ceasefire between Washington and Tehran, announced just days ago, is already facing accusations of violations from both sides. ๐ฅ
Analysts warn that renewed cross-border strikes in the Middle East could destabilize negotiations aimed at ending decades of hostility. 'Every missile fired risks becoming a diplomatic grenade,' says Middle East expert Rami Nader. 'The region is a tinderbox โ one spark could undo months of progress.'
