US President Donald Trump announced a diplomatic development claiming he secured agreements from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hezbollah to halt hostilities, including Israel turning back troops reportedly headed to Beirut. Trump said he communicated with Hezbollah through intermediaries, a first for a US president, and both sides agreed to stop attacks. While Hezbollah and Lebanon's US embassy confirmed acceptance of a mutual ceasefire proposal, independent verification and details remain limited amid ongoing regional tensions and recent Israeli strikes in Lebanon.
