Levant: Politics

The UN Security Council adopted a resolution calling for the immediate cessation of Iran's attacks against Gulf Cooperation Council nations and Jordan. The resolution, which was cosponsored by India, condemned what it described as 'egregious' attacks. Concurrently, separate reports indicate Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu issued threats toward Iran and Hezbollah, while UN experts denounced military aggression against Iran and Lebanon.

In a related development, Lebanon's Hezbollah has pledged allegiance to Iran's new supreme leader. The militant group made this declaration of loyalty following the recent leadership transition in Iran. This affirmation of fealty underscores the group's alignment with Tehran amid heightened regional tensions.
