Lebanon's deadly protests spark memories of the country's civil war
The deadly protests in Beirut this week were the most violent the country has seen in more than a decade.
The epicenter of the clashes, the Tayouneh neighborhood, is close to the birthplace of Lebanon’s 1975-1990 civil war raising further tension and concern in the country.

Skirmishes in Lebanon, while controlled, caused casualties and displacement. The meeting reflects Iran's delicate balancing act in the region's volatile landscape. Sources from Iran, Lebanon, US, and Israel provided insights.
