The United States is trying to avert a greater war between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah movement, U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein said on Tuesday, following an escalation in cross-border fire between the foes along Lebanon's southern frontier.Iran-backed Hezbollah has been trading fire with Israel for the last eight months in parallel with the Gaza war. Last week, the group fired the largest volleys of rockets and drones of the hostilities so far at Israeli military sites, after an Israeli strike killed the most senior commander yet.Hochstein, special envoy to U.S. President Joe Biden, said he had been dispatched to Lebanon immediately following a brief trip to Israel because the situation was "serious"."We have seen an escalation over the last few weeks. And what President Biden wants to do is avoid a further escalation to a greater war," Hochstein said on Tuesday.He had met with the head of Lebanon's army earlier on Tuesday morning and spoke to reporters following a meeting with parliament speaker Nabih Berri, who heads the armed Amal movement, which is allied to Hezbollah and has also fired rockets on Israel in recent months.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has pledged to co-operate with North Korea to strengthen both regimes’ resistance to western sanctions, as he prepared to make his first visit to Pyongyang in 24 years and sign a new strategic partnership with Kim Jong Un.Putin, who will arrive in Pyongyang for a two-day visit late on Tuesday, said Russia would seek to work closely with North Korea to resist pressure over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile programme, according to an article published in North Korean state newspaper Rodong Sinmun. “We will develop alternative mechanisms of trade and mutual settlements that are not controlled by the west and jointly resist illegitimate unilateral restrictions,” Putin wrote, adding that the countries would “build an architecture of equal and indivisible security in Eurasia”.He also thanked North Korea for its support for Moscow in the war in Ukraine and pledged to back Pyongyang in the face of “US pressure, blackmail and military threats”.The Financial Times reported in March that Russia was supplying oil and petroleum products to North Korea in apparent exchange for ballistic missiles and artillery shells to be used on the battlefield in Ukraine.

U.S. and Israeli intelligence agencies are looking into new information about computer modeling by Iranian scientists that could be used for research and development of nuclear weapons, two U.S. officials plus one current and one former Israeli official told Axios.The purpose of the modeling is unclear. Some U.S. and Israeli officials said the intelligence is a worrying signal about Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions, but other officials on both sides said it as a "blip" that doesn't represent a shift in Iran's policy and strategy towards weaponization. Iran has repeatedly denied wanting nuclear weapons.One U.S. and one Israeli official said the new intelligence raised "suspicion" and "concern" about Iran's nuclear research and development activities.One Israeli official said that after the intelligence failure around the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, the Israeli intelligence community is considering even more seriously any small piece of information about potential Iranian steps toward nuclear weapons.The U.S. intelligence community made an assessment in 2007 that Iran hasn't had an active military nuclear program since 2003. That assessment hasn't changed, U.S. officials told Axios.One U.S. and one Israeli official said both countries' intelligence agencies do not have any indication that Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei ordered the military nuclear program to be resumed.
