Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned on Wednesday that any attack on Lebanese capital Beirut would trigger a "full-scale resumption" of the Middle East war, as Israel pressed its campaign against Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.

No significant progress has been made so far in the negotiations with Israel in Washington, Lebanese presidency sources told Al-Arabiya on Wednesday evening.

U.S. Secretary of State said Wednesday that he hopes the latest round of high-level political talks between Israel and Lebanon will result in a joint statement on ending hostilities.

In testimony before lawmakers that started Wednesday shortly after the Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors to the U.S. began meeting at the State Department for a second day of negotiations, Rubio said the aim of the talks is to "produce a joint statement and an action plan on a track for security in that country, independent from Hezbollah, independent from nefarious influence."

A Lebanese official confirmed to Al-Jazeera on Wednesday that Lebanese-Israsli discussions in the Washington round of negotiations are progressing well and that there is "U.S. understanding of the Lebanese approach."

The State Department said progress was made during the first day of talks between Lebanon and Israel in Washington on Tuesday.

"Progress continues on the political and security tracks as we break from the failures of the past 20 years and advance toward a comprehensive agreement aimed at restoring Lebanon’s sovereignty and ensuring Israel's security," the State Department said, adding that "the United States remains fully committed to facilitating these historic negotiations."

Israel warned overnight the Christian neighborhoods in the coastal city of Tyre that Hezbollah members are among them.

Many Lebanese Shiite Muslims fled to those areas in recent days because they were spared from the aerial bombardment along the Mediterranean coast.

President Joseph Aoun condemned Wednesday Iranian attacks on "civilian targets" in Kuwait and Bahrain.

The attack on Kuwait's airport wounded at least 63 people and killed an Indian national.

They went to war together against Iran, but Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu's relationship is under strain after the U.S. president reportedly called the Israeli premier "crazy."

Trump unleashed a profane tirade over the phone at Netanyahu over Israel's threats to bomb the Lebanese capital Beirut, fearing it would undermine talks with Tehran, the Axios news outlet and ABC News reported.

Lebanese state media reported an Israeli strike near Beirut on Wednesday as well as attacks on south Lebanon, ahead of a second day of talks in Washington between Israel and Lebanon.

The state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported "the targeting of a car on the Khaldeh road", referring to an area at the southern entrance to the capital.

The Lebanese delegation to the Washington peace talks with Israel "sensed Israeli and U.S. acceptance regarding a comprehensive ceasefire, and the three parties presented proposals on specific ceasefire formulas," Baabda sources said on Tuesday.

"There is seriousness and a clear effort and interest from the U.S. in reaching a comprehensive ceasefire," the sources told MTV.
