Part 7/15:
The Lebanese government, facing the ongoing conflict, called on Iran to help broker a ceasefire, showing Lebanon’s limited capacity to control Hezbollah’s actions. For its part, Washington forwarded a proposed ceasefire framework based on UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which calls for Hezbollah’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon and the deployment of Lebanese army and UN peacekeepers. However, Hezbollah has yet to fully comply, and the situation remains tense.
