Buildings in Tyre, Lebanon, have been damaged by Israeli strikes, highlighting ongoing tensions in the region. Meanwhile, U.S. Vice President Vance has arrived in Switzerland for talks with Iranian officials to strengthen a fragile interim deal aimed at ending the war and discussing Iran’s nuclear program. The talks involve representatives from Pakistan, Qatar, and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
