On June 24 in Tel Aviv, Israeli defense minister Katz said the IDF will not withdraw from the "security zone" in southern Lebanon and will not change that position even if requested by the United States. He said roughly 200,000 Lebanese residents will not be allowed to return to the area. Katz added: "When civilians lived in the security zone in the past there were roadside bombings and attacks on soldiers, so we will not allow that to happen again." Earlier, Israeli Channel 13 reported that amid new Israel-Lebanon talks in the United States, Israel had been considering a partial troop pullback from parts of southern Lebanon.

On June 24 Trump said responsibility for a Feb. 28 strike on a girls' primary school in Minab, southern Iran, may never be established.

Iranian preliminary probes attribute the attack to U.S. forces; the U.S. has not acknowledged responsibility, citing an ongoing investigation. At the G7 on June 17 Trump said the probe was continuing and added, "nobody did it on purpose... mistakes happen, war is dirty."
