Lebanese civil defence workers walk behind a bulldozer as it removes the rubble from the main market place destroyed by the Israeli military in the southern city of Nabatieh on June 21, 2026. The first round of negotiations between the United States and Iran since the two sides signed a preliminary agreement to halt their war was due to begin in Switzerland on June 21, with the conflict in Lebanon threatening the deal.
