An analyst told RFI that the United States has 'alienated' Sudan's army amid what was described as a 'complex war'.

Israel is pushing for a United States-led international force to take on the task of disarming Hezbollah in Lebanon, according to Responsible Statecraft. The proposal would shift responsibility for neutralising the armed group's arsenal away from the Lebanese state and onto an American-led mission. The idea raises questions about Lebanon's sovereignty, the role of the Lebanese army, and whether Washington would accept such an open-ended security commitment.

The statement is drawing attention given years of ambiguity around American space-based military systems and ongoing debates about space militarization and arms control.
