## US Blockade Redirects 82 Ships

As the US-Iran conflict hits six months, the US has redirected 82 commercial vessels under its blockade. This naval action is part of ongoing tensions between the two nations.

## Hezbollah Rejects Israel-Lebanon Deal

Hezbollah's leader, Naim Qassem, has dismissed a framework agreement between Israel and Lebanon, criticizing it as harmful to Lebanese sovereignty. The deal involves disarming Hezbollah and deploying the Lebanese army in southern Lebanon.

## Diplomatic Efforts and Sanctions

Iran's Foreign Minister has indicated a willingness to resume diplomacy if the US ceases its pressure campaign. Meanwhile, Iran's President acknowledges the economic impact of US sanctions, which have significantly reduced Iran's trade.

Egypt and Kuwait have called for de-escalation and a return to negotiations between Iran and the US. They emphasize the importance of regional stability and peaceful dispute resolution.

US diplomats and some family members are gradually returning to embassies in the Middle East, as restrictions in Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain are lifted. This move is not seen as a policy shift but rather a response to staffing regulations.
