According to U.S. President Donald Trump, “I had a very good call with Hezbollah through highly placed Representatives, and they agreed that all shooting will stop—that Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel.”
On Monday, June 1, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he had convinced Hezbollah and Israel to de-escalate, with the terrorist Lebanese group pledging to cease attacks and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreeing not to send soldiers to southern Beirut.
Following a “very productive” conversation with Mr. Netanyahu, Mr. Trump stated on his Truth Social network, “There will be no Troops going to Beirut, and any Troops that are on their way have already been turned back.”
As diplomatic efforts to end the three-month-old war with Iran continue, Iran’s Tasnim news agency reported on Monday, June 1, 2026, that Tehran’s negotiating team is ceasing communications with the United States through mediators because of attacks on Lebanon.
In order to “punish” Israel and its backers, the agency claimed that Iran and the Resistance Front, which consists of its Shiite allies in Yemen, Lebanon, and Iraq, had set an agenda to totally block the Strait of Hormuz and activate other fronts, such as the Bab El Mandeb Strait.
