Trump says US Navy attacked and seized Iranian-flagged cargo ship

The meeting at the State Department between Israel's ambassador to the U.S., Yechiel Leiter, and his Lebanese counterpart, Ambassador Nada Hamadeh, wrapped after more than two hours, according to a department official.

Before departing, Leiter told reporters that he and Hamadeh had discovered during the talks that Lebanon and Israel are "on the same side of the equation" and united against Hezbollah.

He said the two had envisioned a future where the only reason to cross over each other's borders was to conduct business or go on vacation -- scenarios that would be a remarkable turn of events from the current Israeli military action in Lebanon and decades of opposition to the normalization of ties between the nations.

Leiter stressed that Israel would not compromise on the security of its citizens and said Hamadeh had emphasized that Lebanon would no longer be occupied by Hezbollah.

Leiter did not suggest Israel would abandon its campaign against the Iranian proxy, saying, "It's imperative that there’s a complete de-linkage between Lebanon and Iran. Iran is the malign influence in the region and around the world, and Hezbollah is their proxy next to Israel."

Regarding a possible treaty with Lebanon, Leiter said that "we are working on the agreement on every front," but that "the security issue" would have to be resolved before there could be anything like the diplomatic agreements between Israel and other Abraham Accord countries.

Leiter did not discuss plans to fully disarm Hezbollah but said that Israel's action against the group had enabled Lebanon's government to take "bold" actions -- citing the direct talks that took place today as an example.

The State Department's Rewards for Justice program announced Tuesday it would pay out up to $10 million for information on Ahmad al-Hamidawi, the leader of Kata'ib Hezbollah -- a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization closely aligned with Lebanese Hezbollah that is considered to be the most powerful militia in Iraq.

The department said al-Hamidawi directed Kata'ib Hezbollah attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities last month, and that for years the group has "repeatedly targeted U.S. personnel and facilities in Iraq with IEDs, rockets, and unmanned aircraft systems, kidnapped U.S. citizens, and killed innocent Iraqi civilians."

Al-Hamidawi received "political, military, and intelligence training from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps," the release stated.

Kata’ib Hezbollah recently admitted to kidnapping American freelance journalist Shelly Kittleson and detaining her for a week before ultimately freeing her in a prisoner exchange with Iraqi authorities.

A new poll from Ipsos found that half (51%) of Americans say the decision to take military action in Iran has not been worth it. Another 24% say it has been worth it and 22% are unsure.

The poll found that 54% say the military action the U.S. has taken in Iran has had a mostly negative impact on their personal financial situation, while 29% say it has not had an impact.

On long-term U.S. security, the poll found that 41% of Americans think it will get worse due to the military action in Iran, 26% think it will improve, and 29% say it will not have an impact either way.

The poll, conducted from April 10 to 12, found that 60% of Americans disapprove of the U.S. military strikes against Iran and 35% approve -- little changed from when Ipsos last asked earlier this month and throughout March.

President Donald Trump said that another round of peace talks with Iran in Islamabad could be happening "over the next two days," during a phone interview with the New York Post on Tuesday.

The president initially said discussions for future peace talks were "happening," but a "little bit slow" and suggested that Europe could be the location for a second round of face-to-face negotiations, according to the Post.

The Post said that the president then later called the reporter back with an update advising them to stay in Islamabad.

"You should stay there, really, because something could be happening over the next two days, and we're more inclined to go there," Trump said, according to the Post.

"It's more likely, you know why? Because the field marshal is doing a great job," he said, according to the Post, referring to Pakistan's Army Chief and Field Marshal Asim Munir.
