Mediation continues to avert escalation… and the response is tomorrow! Lebanon · 2026-11-03 17:58
A senior Lebanese security source describes the coming hours as decisive for Lebanon and the region. Lebanese parties have reportedly been told that Iran will respond on Wednesday to the Qatari proposal, which could lead either to a major agreement or to a crisis larger than Lebanon. The situation is also tied to a planned ministerial visit to Syria.
Qatar has acted as a mediator between Iran and the United States, which have been at odds for years over Iran's nuclear programme and regional role. Lebanon is affected through Hezbollah, the Iran-backed group that is a major political and military actor there.
