Israel has intensified its military campaign in Lebanon, marking a significant escalation in the northern front of the Iran-Israel conflict. Concurrently, former US President Donald Trump indicated that diplomatic negotiations with Iran are progressing slowly, suggesting a lack of immediate de-escalation via political channels.
