BEIRUT — Israel has asked Lebanon, through US mediators, to put Lebanese troops and roadblocks in areas where Hezbollah members live. The aim is to keep the group out of any renewed war with Iran, according to Israeli public broadcaster Kan, which cited an unnamed security source. Jerusalem also warned that fighting in Lebanon would flare again if Hezbollah attacks Israel. Asharq Al-Awsat reported that Secretary of State Marco Rubio gave a similar warning. It said Hezbollah told Speaker Nabih Berri that Iran does not need its help. Separately, Iran's armed forces chief of staff set out a security proposal that demands an end to war on all fronts, including Lebanon and Gaza. It also demands sanctions relief, reparations and recognition of Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz. The June framework deal that ties an Israeli pullback to Hezbollah's disarmament remains stalled, and Israeli strikes in the south continue.
