Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah ministers and Muslim Shi'ite allies in the Lebanese cabinet have withdrawn from a cabinet meeting on Thursday in protest at discussions on a proposal to disarm Hezbollah, three Lebanese political sources told Reuters.
Lebanon's cabinet told the army on Tuesday to draw up a plan to establish a state monopoly on arms in a challenge to Hezbollah, which rejects calls to disarm.

US Vice President JD Vance said in an exclusive interview with Reuters that Iran must make a “meaningful” reduction in its nuclear enrichment capacity to satisfy US demands and end the countries’ seven-month war, even as Washington was unsure how Tehran makes decisions in negotiations.
