Despite Hezbollah's public rejection of cease-fire, the group accepted it in talks, source says
US Ambassador to Lebanon Michel Issa (R) listens as State Department Chief of Staff Daniel Holler speaks during a meeting between Israeli and Lebanese delegations hosted by the United States at the State Department in Washington, DC, on June 3, 2026.
IDF issues evacuation orders to all of southern Lebanon, says fighting to continue
After Israel walked back from the brink of escalation in Lebanon earlier this week, the two countries announced early on Thursday that they agreed to renew the fragile cease-fire that collapsed when Hezbollah joined the Iran war in early March.
A statement co-signed by Israel, Lebanon and the United States said the cease-fire is contingent on Hezbollah removing all its fighters from the area south of the Litani River and a "complete cessation" of its fire.
Israel and Lebanon also agreed to create "pilot zones in which the Lebanese Armed Forces will take exclusive control of the territory," the statement said without specifying the timetables for an Israeli withdrawal and the "evacuation of Hezbollah" north of the Litani River, nor detailing where the aforementioned Hezbollah-free zones will be.
While Hezbollah's Secretary-General Naim Qassem rejected the cease-fire – a move coordinated with Iran, according to a Lebanese source affiliated with the group – an Israeli source told Haaretz that Hezbollah agreed to the deal's terms, citing Lebanese representatives to the talks.
Another Lebanese source later told Haaretz that Hezbollah "more or less agreed to stop if Israel stops."
Lebanon's President Aoun later said that Beirut had proposed "pilot areas" from which Israel would withdraw, including the Zoutar area in Nabatieh and Beaufort Castle, which was seized earlier this week by the IDF. Aoun concluded that this agreement is different from the one reached in 2024, "because it will be sustainable, and we rely on the role of President Trump and his administration."
Meanwhile, the IDF issued an evacuation order for the entirety of southern Lebanon, saying the war hasn't ended and calling on residents to "refrain from heading south of the Zahrani River until further notice." A source later told Haaretz that Israeli forces are preparing for the "next stage" of implementing a cease-fire, but did not use the term "withdrawal."
The UN's Interim Force in Lebanon said it had not observed an Israeli withdrawal, adding that it had not documented Hezbollah attacks and had noticed a decrease in the scale of Israeli strikes.
An Israeli source told Haaretz that Israel does not intend to withdraw from areas south of Lebanon's Litani River, and had agreed not to carry out offensive actions against Hezbollah, including the demolition of homes, in exchange for Hezbollah ceasing offensive actions against Israeli forces.

Iran conflict to cost Canadian families $648 more at the pumps this year
And that does not include higher prices of all overall goods caused by shippers and retailers passing on extra fuel costs to consumers

OTTAWA — The ongoing conflict to end Iranian terror will cost the average Canadian household $648 in extra fuel costs this year, a new report suggests.
Released earlier this week by the Financial Accountability Office of Ontario, the report suggests that provincial households are feeling the punch caused by the conflict, which is causing energy prices around the world to skyrocket significantly.
“Since Feb. 2026, the war in Iran has raised global oil prices significantly, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude prices rising from an average of $65 US per barrel in February to $105 US per barrel in May, an increase of 62%,” reads an excerpt from the office’s quarterly Ontario Economic Monitor report, which was published Wednesday.
“This has in turn sharply increased the price of gasoline and diesel in Ontario.”
Oil prices expected to remain high even after peace declared
From February to May, average gasoline prices in Ontario went up 44%, or 58 cents per litre — increasing from $1.31 per litre to $1.88 per litre.
At the same time, average diesel prices increased by 35% from $1.55 per litre to $2.10 per litre.
Even if peace were declared today and oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz resumed, oil prices are still expected to stay above pre-war prices, but they will drop by around $80 US per barrel.
“Assuming fuel prices in Ontario follow the same price trajectory and the demand for gasoline and diesel remains stable, Ontario households, businesses, and the government and non-profit sectors would face an additional $8.5 billion in fuel costs,” the report read.
“Of this, an estimated $4.1 billion would be paid by households, $4.0 billion by businesses, and $0.4 billion by the government and non-profit sectors.”
In all, the average Ontario household can expect to pay $648 more in fuel costs this year — an impact the report says does not include higher prices of all overall goods caused by shippers and retailers passing on the extra fuel costs to the consumer.
“To the extent that businesses pass on higher fuel costs to consumers, the additional fuel-related costs would be higher for households,” the report stated.

Top Trump administration officials such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio insist a temporary ceasefire agreement has been holding up despite recent U.S. strikes on Iran, telling lawmakers last week those are defensive actions.
Ultimately, if both sides interpret "self-defense" differently, it often leads to a cycle of escalating accusations, as seen in recent conflicts involving the United States, Iran, and groups in the Middle East. Breaking a ceasefire can also have complex legal consequences, such as how the United States government argues that a ceasefire "pauses"

Ahhh…Maybe the U.S. won’t ease “sanctions” on Iran’s Islamist regime, and maybe it won’t let Tehran have access to billions in “frozen” assets. But what about “restricted” Iranian funds? That’s a whole other categoryU.S. President Donald Trump said in an interview with NBC News’ "Meet the Press" that he would not unfreeze Iranian assets or lift any sanctions before a peace deal is reached.
So does this mean that the Trump administration has figured out a backdoor way to unfreeze Iranian assets while claiming not to unfreeze Iranian asset’s? Otherwise, why push that narrative?

Anywho, Iran launched ceasefire missiles at Israel on Sunday in retaliation for an Israeli strike in Beirut earlier in the day, marking the first direct Iranian missile attack since the April 8 ceasefire.
Iran's military said Israel had "crossed all red lines" in intensifying its attacks in southern Lebanon and targeting the south Beirut suburb of Dahieh which contains Hezbollah command centers, institutional infrastructure, and underground facilities used by the group. Because of this concentration, it is regularly designated as a target for Israeli airstrikes during conflicts. Lebanon was drawn into the Middle East war when Hezbollah fired rockets at Israel from Lebanon on March 2 in support of its patron Iran.
"If it expands its attacks in ‘that’ area, or responds to Iran's action, it will face more forceful blows, and devastating attacks will be launched" against Israel and its supporters, the Iranian military added.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office announced the army "just struck a militant command centre in Beirut's Dahiyeh district, in response to Hezbollah's fire towards Israeli territory".
Hezbollah later confirmed having launched missiles and drones that it said targeted a pair of army barracks in northern Israel early on Sunday.
The Israeli response in Beirut "targeted two apartments in two buildings", according to Lebanon's state-run National News Agency.
An AFP photographer saw two apartments damaged on a narrow street, and traffic congestion as residents tried to leave the suburb while the Lebanese army deployed to the area.

Iran has launched missiles at Israel in an attack that threatens to derail fragile peace talks (???) and reignite its war with the US…?
While Donald Trump has been maintaining in interviews throughout Sunday night that diplomatic talks with Tehran have not been derailed (???), he has flagged that US commandos could be sent into Iran if negotiations do fail.
Donald Trump has said that he “calls the shots” – not Benjamin Netanyahu – and that Israel must accept a peace deal with Iran that is currently firing missiles into Israel. He then spoke to the Financial Times and said Sunday evening’s strikes were “not going to have impact” on peace negotiations. Phew!

Iran and Israel say they have halted strikes on each other for now — Reuters
Iran and Israel said on Monday they had halted attacks on each other following an appeal from U.S. President Donald Trump that they immediately "stop 'shooting'", though Tehran said it would resume strikes if Israel continued to hit Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Ok. Now what? Israel military says it has launched strikes on military targets in western and central Iran, after warning it would retaliate for the first Iranian attack on Israel since April. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says multiple waves of missiles fired at northern Israel are "the beginning of a full week of continuous strikes".
Iranian state television reported the sound of explosions being heard in Isfahan, Tabriz and Tehran, without immediately elaborating.
Israel says it has struck Iran after taking missile fire
Israel launched airstrikes early Monday targeting central and western Iran in response to missile fire.
Israel’s air force struck military targets in western and central Iran early Monday, the Israel Defense Forces said on social media, without providing more details. The attack came hours after Iran fired ballistic missiles at Israel.
Iranian state-run media reported on Sunday that Tehran (=Da Houthis) is threatening to block Bab al-Mandab, another vital maritime corridor in the Middle East, if Israel escalates its attack, citing a senior adviser to Iran’s supreme leader.
In late 2023, Houthi militants began attacking commercial vessels passing through the strait in retaliation for Israel’s war in Gaza, which was in response to Iranian proxy Hamas attacking Israel. The Houthis attacks prompted shipping companies to use a longer route, adding weeks onto journeys and forcing them to spend more on fuel, insurance, and seafarers’ wages.
