Egypt and several Gulf states have begun efforts to curb the escalation and revive U.S.-Iran talks, the Hezbollah-linked Lebanese paper Al-Akhbar reports, citing Cairo diplomatic sources.
The focus is pressuring Washington to keep Israel out of any strikes on Iran, over fears it would open new fronts. UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed cut short an Egypt visit to manage the crisis from Abu Dhabi.
Cairo has pledged immediate defensive and intelligence support to the Gulf to shield energy sites, oil tankers, and shipping from Iranian retaliation.

Israel is considering returning to and expanding its activity in more than one Lebanese region if the U.S.–Iran conflict continues to deteriorate, knowledgeable Lebanese sources warn.
The sources say Israel views a Washington–Tehran memorandum of understanding as having imposed restrictions on it, including a ban on operations outside southern Lebanon, especially in Beirut and the Dahiya district.
Israel believes the agreement's collapse would lift those restrictions, allowing it to resume operations under the pretext of "removing immediate threats."
Per al-Akhbar, a Lebanese newspaper close to Hezbollah.
Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Akhbar reports Israel has systematically increased strikes on southern Lebanese villages since the Iran-Israel ceasefire took effect.
Per the report, the message to Tehran and the international community: areas south of the Litani and Zahrani rivers are outside the scope of any regional deal, and the IDF ground operation is independent of all agreements.
Pakistani troops have arrived in Yemen's Shabwa and Hadramawt provinces, Lebanon's al-Akhbar reports citing local Yemeni sources. Clashes broke out in Hadramawt after Saudi-backed local forces refused to let the Pakistanis enter a military base. Local sources claim Saudi Arabia deployed the Pakistani forces to secure oil fields and replace UAE-aligned troops that controlled the area until a Saudi-pressured withdrawal last December.
Quds Force chief Gen. Ismail Qaani was in Baghdad over the past 48 hours meeting Iran-backed militia leaders and Iraqi officials, per Al-Akhbar.
Sources told the outlet the visit focused on reorganizing pro-Iran factions and keeping coordination channels intact amid the Iran-Israel-U.S. escalation.
Reports of Israeli military presence inside Iraq preceded the visit.
An Iranian source told Hezbollah linked Lebanese outlet Al Akhbar that Tehran informed Pakistan’s mediator the Lebanon clause is non negotiable, and it must be a clause that in any deal with the U.S. - Israel must have a ceasefire with Hezbollah.
The mediator relayed a U.S. response saying direct Lebanon Israel talks would resolve the matter faster, and Washington does not want Lebanon included in negotiations with Iran.
Al-Akhbar, a Lebanese outlet linked to Hezbollah, reports that the body of its journalist Amal Khalil was recovered from the rubble of a building hit by the IDF in A-Tiri.
Egypt offered to host Israel-Lebanon talks in Sharm el-Sheikh, but the proposal has not received clear U.S. approval, according to Al-Akhbar.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun prefers the meetings stay in Washington and rejected Egypt and Europe as alternatives. His team says the U.S. needs to be a direct guarantor. Egypt and France have both told Lebanon it should want non-American parties involved, arguing Washington naturally favors Israel. - Al-Akhbar
Lebanon’s Al-Akhbar reports an Egyptian security delegation met a Hezbollah-linked figure under guidance of Naim Qassem to discuss a potential ceasefire initiative.
Hezbollah reportedly redirected talks to Speaker Nabih Berri, saying it believes the battlefield must play out first and that ceasefire efforts are “premature.”
