UN Peacekeeper Killed in Lebanon as US-Iran Ceasefire Holds in Tehran
An Indonesian soldier has become the sixth UN peacekeeper killed amid ongoing hostilities in southern Lebanon. Separately, international flights have resumed at Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport following weeks of disruption, indicating the US-Iran ceasefire is holding. The two developments reflect ongoing regional instability alongside tentative signs of de-escalation in the Middle East.
