The next phase of talks to end the war in Iran is expected to begin on Sunday amid fighting in Lebanon and renewed confusion over the Strait of Hormuz.

For a quarter century, Ms. Kahlil ran a guesthouse and worked to protect endangered sea turtles who every summer lay their eggs on a stretch of beach near Tyre, Lebanon.

Iran’s military announced that it had closed the Strait of Hormuz around the same time on Saturday that Vice President JD Vance told Fox News the Trump administration had accomplished its goal of opening the strait.

An advocacy group identified some of the victims as Muslims. Counterterrorism authorities are leading the investigation, but a motive for the attacks is so far unknown.

The fire on Friday forced the emergency evacuation of nearly 1,700 guests. Authorities said at least one person, an Italian tourist, was killed.

Begoña Gómez faces charges of embezzlement, corruption, misappropriation of funds and influence peddling for helping favored companies win public contracts.

Fifty-five ships had passed through the strait on Saturday, the U.S. military said. But then Iran’s military said it was closing the waterway once again.

For the second time in two days, Lebanon was again at the center of whether the fragile U.S.-Iran deal would hold.
