Israel strikes Beirut and Iran despite Trump's orders, pushing nuclear deal to the brink

Google News Top—The IDF killed a Hezbollah commander in Dahiyeh and separately struck Iranian military sites in response to a missile attack, both actions defying explicit White House orders to stand down. Iran's security council declared 'zero hour is upon us' while its parliament speaker said the U.S. 'lacks the will to fulfill commitments,' threatening to walk away from talks. Trump — privately furious at Netanyahu, posting 'let's not blow it' on Truth Social — warned Israel it would have 'no choice' but to accept any US-Iran deal reached without it. Netanyahu gave what sources called a 'pseudo agreement' to halt, and Trump insisted the deal remained within reach despite three people killed in Dahiyeh.
