Rubio and Lebanon’s president met in Washington for talks that included a deal involving Israel, according to the latest regional updates. The meeting comes at a time of heightened diplomatic and military pressure across the Middle East, with several countries on alert.
The wider security picture remained tense on Sunday. Jordan’s armed forces said they intercepted three Iranian missiles aimed at the kingdom, while a fourth landed in an open area, according to state media. The developments underscored how quickly the regional crisis is spreading beyond the immediate Israel-Lebanon front.
Elsewhere, Kuwait said its air defences were responding to what the army described as hostile drone threats. Reports also pointed to sirens sounding in Bahrain, adding to signs of a broader regional emergency as governments monitor incoming threats and possible spillover.
The live updates also included reported violence in the West Bank, where two Palestinians were said to have been killed by Israeli gunfire after a raid involving soldiers and settlers in a town where livestock was reportedly taken. Against that backdrop, the Washington meeting highlighted continuing efforts to manage tensions while conflict-related incidents mount across the region.
