A senior Israeli security official said the current confrontation with Iran is unlikely to be the last, warning that repeated rounds of fighting should be expected as long as the Iranian regime remains in place, Ynet reported.

The official said Israel is preparing for the possibility of renewed conflict with close coordination with the U.S., adding that the campaign may require recurring action to counter Iran’s missile and nuclear threats.

The New York Mets, who were down by 3 runs in the 9th inning and down to their last strike, pull off wild 7-6, 10-inning victory over the Yankees.
It snaps their drought of losing their last 91 games when trailing after 8 innings.

‼️ A Statement by the Lebanese Delegation on Lebanon Israel talks :

The Lebanese delegation concluded two days of negotiations at the U.S. Department of State in Washington, DC. The trilateral negotiations involving Lebanon, the United States, and Israel produced meaningful diplomatic progress for Lebanon. The parties agreed to extend the current ceasefire for an additional 45 days to allow a U.S.-facilitated security track to commence on May 29 and to consolidate the political momentum achieved in recent days.

Key Outcomes

• A 45-day extension of the ceasefire has been agreed upon while the security and political tracks advance.

• A formal political track has been initiated, reflecting Lebanon’s constructive engagement and strengthening prospects for a durable peaceful resolution. The next meeting will take place on June 2-3, 2026 at the State Department in Washington, DC.

• The United States will proactively facilitate enhanced military-to-military communication and coordination between Lebanon and Israel, via a security track scheduled to launch on May 29 at the Pentagon in Washington, DC.

• The parties committed to reviewing progress with the objective of extending the ceasefire further should the negotiation tracks yield positive results.

The Lebanese delegation welcomes today’s outcome. The extension of the ceasefire and the establishment of a U.S.-facilitated security track provide critical breathing space for our citizens, reinforce state institutions, and advance a political pathway toward lasting stability. Lebanon will continue to engage constructively in negotiations while safeguarding its sovereignty and protecting the safety of its people.

The delegation reaffirms its unwavering commitment to reaching an agreement that fully restores Lebanon’s national sovereignty and guarantees the safety and return of all its citizens. Our objective is to transform the current ceasefire momentum into a comprehensive and lasting agreement that safeguards the dignity, security, and future of the Lebanese people.

Key Pillars of the Lebanese Position

• Restoration of Sovereignty: Lebanon’s foremost priority is the full restoration of state authority across all Lebanese territory in order to protect its borders, uphold national sovereignty, and ensure the security of its people.

• Return of the Displaced and Reconstruction: Lebanon remains committed to the safe and dignified return of displaced civilians to the South, supported by meaningful economic assistance and sustained reconstruction efforts.

• Release of Detainees and Recovery of Remains: Lebanon continues to advocate for the return of all Lebanese detainees and the recovery of the remains of the deceased.

• Independent Verification Mechanism: To avoid the failures of previous arrangements, Lebanon insists on a phased and verifiable implementation process, supported by the United States, to ensure that all commitments are fulfilled without compromising Lebanese sovereignty.

Lebanon is negotiating for a future in which its borders are respected, its sovereignty is upheld solely by its Lebanese Armed Forces, and its people can live in lasting peace and security.

Detroit ace Tarik Skubal will undergo surgery to remove loose bodies in his left elbow. Such procedures typically sideline players for 2-3 months. Skubal should return before season's end, but a tough blow for the impending free agent and two-time reigning AL Cy Young winner.

Per Kpler, Iran has loaded over 20 million bbls since the blockade was announced.

Little of this oil is getting out to sea, but the steady rate of tanker loadings at Kharg suggests Iran is some way away from maxing out storage and reducing output.

The Lebanese military says fragments found north of Beirut came from a Qadr 110 missile, likely detonated at high altitude and not aimed at Lebanon. The cause may have been a technical failure or an interceptor strike. No Lebanese interceptor systems are in place.
