President Trump announced at the G7 summit that the U.S. will collaborate with Gulf nations to address Iran’s ballistic missile program and the activities of its regional proxies. He specifically mentioned discussions regarding Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed group, and Syria’s potential targeting of the organization within Lebanon. Trump stated Syria’s leader expressed a desire to strike Hezbollah with “precision.” Furthermore, the President revealed that Lebanon’s leader is anticipated to visit Washington D.C. in the near future. This initiative runs alongside existing U.S. efforts concerning Iran. The announcement signals a broadening of the U.S. strategy regarding Iran, extending beyond direct negotiations.
