in the US capital, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun\u2019s office said Friday. <\/p>\n<p>Beirut is keen to hold direct talks to end the war between Israel and Hezbollah, but under a cease-fire similar to the one with Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Israel wants the Lebanese government to assume responsibility for disarming Hezbollah, much like was envisaged in a\u00a0November 2024 cease-fire.<\/p>\n<p>But it is unclear whether Lebanon\u2019s army can establish a monopoly on arms or confiscate weapons from the militant group, which has resisted efforts to curb its strength for decades.<\/p>\n<p>Israel\u2019s insistence that the cease-fire in Iran does\u00a0not include a pause\u00a0in its fighting with Hezbollah has threatened to sink the deal. The militant group joined the war in support of its backer, Iran.<\/p>\n<p>The day the truce was announced, Israel\u00a0pounded Beirut with airstrikes, killing more than 300 people, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. It was the deadliest day in the country since the war began Feb. 28.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single__inline-module inline-module inline-module--newsletter aligncenter inline-module--nypostbusinessunit aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-newsletter\" data-source-unit=\"Inline Newsletter Module Morning Report\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__inner\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__title-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__unsubmitted-title-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"inline-module__title headline headline--combo-sm-md\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStart your day with all you need to know\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n<p class=\"inline-module__cta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMorning Report delivers the latest news, videos, photos and more.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"inline-module__title headline headline--combo-sm-md\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThanks for signing up!\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Trump said Thursday he had asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to dial back the strikes.<\/p>\n<p>Then on Friday, Israeli warplanes struck near a state security office in the southern town of Nabatieh, killing 13 officers, according to the Lebanese president\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli forces said they also hit about 10 rocket launchers in Lebanon that had fired toward northern Israel.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strait of Hormuz remains a sticking point<\/h2>\n<p>Iran\u2019s closure of\u00a0the Strait of Hormuz\u00a0has sent oil prices skyrocketing, driven stocks down and roiled the world economy. Tehran\u2019s control over the waterway has proved its biggest strategic advantage in the war.<\/p>\n<p>The spot price of Brent crude, the international standard, was around $97 Friday, up more than 30% since the war started.<\/p>\n<p>Before the conflict, around a fifth of the world\u2019s traded oil typically passed through the strait on more than 100 ships, many carrying oil to Asia. With the cease-fire in place, only 12 have been recorded passing through.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
