                The Latest: Netanyahu approves talks with Lebanon after Israeli strikes imperil Iran ceasefire

                A tentative U.S.-Iran ceasefire is faltering as Israel pounds Beirut, Iran maintains its grip on the Strait of Hormuz and truce talks remain uncertain. Both Tehran and Washington are claiming victory and exerting pressure on each other. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday he had approved direct negotiations with Lebanon, which gave no immediate response. Israeli strikes there made Wednesday the deadliest day in Lebanon since the war began. The Health Ministry said at least 203 people were killed. There are lingering disagreements over whether the ceasefire covers the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. Iran is warning of “STRONG responses” if attacks on its militant ally don’t stop.
