What should be done to reduce tensions between Israel, Hezbollah, and Iran to promote peace in the region?

Israel struck Beirut's southern suburbs Sunday in retaliation to a Hezbollah missile attack on northern Israel, Israeli officials said. Why it matters: Iran threatened last week to launch a missile attack against Israel if it attacks Beirut, while the U.S. has backed Israel's right to self-defence. Such a move could unravel U.S.–Iran negotiations and reignite the war. Israel notified the Trump administration before the strike, a U.S. official and two other sources with knowledge tell Axios."The United States supports Israel's right to self-defense and stands with the legitimate Government of Lebanon as it works to deliver a better future for its citizens," a U.S. official tells Axios. Hezbollah "must stop firing immediately and allow these agreements to take effect." Driving the news: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strike answered Hezbollah missiles fired at northern Israel earlier Sunday, which the Israeli military says it intercepted. Israeli officials said the Beirut strike targeted a Hezbollah command center in Dahieh — a Shia district known as a Hezbollah stronghold. At least two people were killed and a dozen wounded, according to Lebanon's state news agency. Threat level: Senior Iranian lawmakers publicly threatened retaliation. Ebrahim Rezaei, a member of the Iranian parliament's national security committee, wrote on X that Iran "will give a decisive and painful response to the Zionist regime's attack on Dahieh."He told followers to "watch the skies" over Israel tonight.Iranian speaker of parliament and chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf echoed that.Ghalibaf wrote on X: "They neither adhere to the ceasefire nor believe in dialogue, and with the naval blockade and violation of agreements on Lebanon, they showed that they only understand the language of force. The naval blockade against the Iranian nation and today's U.S. green light to the Zionist regime turn American and regime bases and assets in the region into legitimate targets
