Smoke rose over the Lebanese capital, and the Civil Defense said it retrieved three bodies and six wounded people from the rubble.Iran threatened a military response. Trump wrote on social media, “We are very close to a Deal that will bring peace to the region,” and “Let’s not blow it!”The deal in its current form is a deep disappointment to Israel’s government, which has been sidelined in negotiations led by Pakistan and others.
