The Israeli army conducted a new attack on southern Lebanon, specifically the Ali Al-Taher area in Nabatieh, this afternoon. The strikes occurred ahead of an upcoming speech by Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri, who is expected to address regional developments, the status of an American proposal, and a ceasefire agreement. Violent Israeli raids were renewed on the Ali Al-Taher area, according to reports from Annahar. The timing of these actions precedes significant political statements expected from Lebanese leadership. Separately, senior Iranian officials in the Foreign Ministry have stated, in private discussions leaked to Iran International, that the United States has ignored Iran's requests for negotiations. One official claimed Iran has sent 15 messages that were all disregarded by the Trump administration. This information suggests a potential breakdown in diplomatic channels between the two nations. In Yemen, three days have passed since the last public statement from Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree. His most recent statement, issued on August 27, 2025, detailed a military operation targeting Lod Airport in Jaffa using a ballistic missile identified as "Palestine 2."
