President Donald Trump has announced what he described as a major diplomatic breakthrough in the Middle East, claiming that Hezbollah has agreed to cease all shooting following discussions aimed at preventing further escalation in Lebanon.

In a statement, Trump revealed that he held what he called a "very productive" conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and separate communications that led to assurances of calm from Hezbollah.

According to Trump, the discussions resulted in an agreement that Israeli troops would not move into Beirut, a development that could significantly reduce fears of a broader conflict in Lebanon.

"I had a very productive call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, and there will be no Troops going to Beirut," Trump said. "I had a very good call with Hezbollah, and they agreed that all shooting will stop."

The announcement comes amid heightened tensions across the region, where fears of a wider confrontation have fueled international concern. Beirut, Lebanon's capital, has remained a focal point of diplomatic efforts aimed at preventing further military escalation.

While details surrounding the reported agreement remain limited, Trump's remarks suggest that back-channel diplomacy may have played a role in easing immediate tensions.

Neither Israeli authorities nor Hezbollah had immediately provided detailed public confirmation of the claims at the time of reporting, leaving observers awaiting further clarification on the scope and durability of any ceasefire arrangement.

If confirmed, the development could mark a significant pause in hostilities and represent a rare moment of de-escalation in one of the world's most volatile regions.
