Israeli drone strikes kill 11 in Lebanon as peace efforts fail

Iran stopped communicating with mediators after Israel threatened to bomb Beirut as it fights the Lebanese militia Hezbollah. That’s according to two semi-official Iranian news agencies, but U.S. President Donald Trump is disputing the claim and says talks are continuing. The reports come as Iran insists the fighting in Lebanon is part of the wider ceasefire talks with the United States over the war. In the meantime, Israeli drone strikes on southern Lebanon have killed 11 people, a day after Trump said Israel and Hezbollah agreed to reduce fighting.
