How should countries respond to conflicts in the Middle East to promote lasting peace?

Iran warned on Thursday that the shaky ceasefire in the three-month Middle East war was now "practically meaningless" following fresh strikes by the United States that saw Tehran respond with attacks around the region. The war, which began on February 28 with a wave of US-Israeli strikes on Iran, was paused by the April truce, but efforts to hammer out a permanent end to the fighting have stalled, and sporadic exchanges of fire have put the ceasefire under repeated strain

What do you think are the important choices for Armenia's future in these elections?

Armenians are voting on Sunday in parliamentary elections as the incumbent government, facing mounting pressure from Russia, seeks to loosen ties with Moscow and deepen cooperation with the West. Speaking to residents, FRANCE 24's Olivia Bizot said the vote is widely being seen as a "referendum on independence". One voter described the election as "existential" for Armenia, citing aggressive rhetoric from neighbouring countries. Meanwhile, according to Western intelligence and government officials, Russia has stepped up covert efforts to undermine Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s bid for re-election next month, fearing that a victory could cement the former Soviet republic's realignment with the West

What could a mutual halt to attacks between Hezbollah and Israel mean for peace in the region?

BEIRUT, June 1 (Reuters) - Lebanon's embassy in Washington said in a statement on Monday that Hezbollah had accepted a U.S. proposal for a mutual cessation of hostilities that would be extended to encompass all Lebanese territory. The statement, shared by the Lebanese presidency on X, said the arrangement would first see Israel refrain from striking Beirut's southern suburbs in exchange for Iran-backed Hezbollah halting its attacks against Israel, after Israel had threatened to attack the capital's suburbs on Monday
