Lebanon Condemns Israel’s ‘Scorched Earth’ Tactics Amid US‑Iran Deal Stalemate

Lebanon’s government has publicly denounced Israel’s military strategy in the region, describing it as a "scorched earth" policy that threatens civilian safety. The statement comes as negotiations between the United States and Iran over the 2015 nuclear agreement remain stalled.

In a press briefing, Lebanese officials criticized Israel’s operations, calling them indiscriminate and harmful to the civilian population. They urged the international community to address the escalating tensions and to support a diplomatic resolution.

The remarks follow a period of heightened military activity in the area and coincide with reports that the U.S. and Iran have yet to resume talks on the nuclear deal, leaving the future of the agreement uncertain.
