Iran Suspends U.S. Talks as Israel Kills 8 More in Lebanon & Expands Occupation
Israeli drones have killed at least eight people in Lebanon despite an announcement Monday by U.S. President Donald Trump that both Israel and Hezbollah had agreed to stop fighting. Trump's intervention came as Israel threatened new strikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut, leading Iran to suspend indirect negotiations with the U.S. to protest Israel's expanding military offensive in Lebanon. Since March 2, Israel has killed more than 3,400 people in Lebanon while seizing large swaths of the country and displacing about one-fifth of the population.

Lebanon is "a weak state, it doesn't have a lot of leverage, and a lot of people are concerned," says Associated Press reporter Kareem Chehayeb in Beirut. "They sort of feel beholden to the regional and global powers on their fate."

NJ State Police Join Crackdown Against Supporters of Hunger-Striking Immigrants at Delaney Hall
An estimated 300 immigrants detained at the Delaney Hall ICE jail in Newark, New Jersey, are continuing a hunger and labor strike to demand their freedom. Amid ongoing protests, New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill has deployed state police, who erected a barricade around the facility and have reportedly brutalized activists. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka has also imposed a nightly curfew around Delaney Hall until further notice.

Local investigative journalist Bob Hennelly joins Democracy Now! to talk about the ongoing hunger and labor strike, launched on May 22, and its historical implications in Newark and the rest of the country. In letters at the outset of their strike detailing the conditions in the ICE jail, detainees have "written something that I think historians will say is equivalent to the Declaration of Independence," says Hennelly, "because they so vividly describe the way they've been deprived of all the basic human rights that we've come to associate with this nation."

U.S. Bombs Iran Despite Peace Talks; Israel Strikes Lebanon to "Force Trump's Hand": Negar Mortazavi
We get an update on the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran from journalist Negar Mortazavi, following the Pentagon's so-called self-defense strikes on two Iranian ships in the Strait of Hormuz Monday despite an official ceasefire and ongoing peace negotiations. The "chaotic" ceasefire "has been violated from day one," says Mortazavi, who notes that Israel's continuous attacks on southern Lebanon are delaying attempts to end the war — and that this is exactly the intention of the Israeli government. "Clearly, Netanyahu doesn't want this war with Iran to end," she says. "Every step of escalation is definitely going to harm the final outcome and narrow the path to a final agreement." Mortazavi also comments on the new political reality for Iran's Gulf neighbors in the aftermath of Iranian strikes on U.S. military bases hosted in the region. "The Iranian message is: If war comes to us, it will not stay inside our borders."
