Iran has issued a stern warning to Israel against initiating full-scale military aggression in Lebanon, threatening an "obliterating war" and emphasizing that all options, including involving all resistance fronts, are on the table. The situation has escalated following Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's indications of preparations for operations on the Lebanese border, leading to daily exchanges of fire. Israeli forces have targeted several Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, intensifying fears of a broader conflict. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stated that while Israel prefers a political solution, it is prepared for war with Hezbollah. Hezbollah’s leader, Nasrallah, warned that any Israeli offensive would result in a war without restraint. The volatile situation has prompted countries like Germany, Canada, the Netherlands, and the US to advise their citizens to avoid traveling to Lebanon. The international community is closely monitoring the escalating tensions, with concerns about Iran's alignment with armed groups across the region and Israel's military readiness to inflict significant damage on Lebanon.

Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas is set to become the EU's new foreign policy chief, advocating for a tougher stance against Russia. She controversially defines victory in Ukraine as breaking Russia into smaller states and supports pushing Russia back, maintaining sanctions, and integrating Ukraine into the EU and NATO. This signals a more confrontational EU approach, likely intensifying tensions with Moscow. Russia, meanwhile, remains committed to its military objectives in Ukraine, setting the stage for continued conflict.
