Israel-Hezbollah Ceasefire Reached, US-Iran Talks Delayed

The ceasefire was meant to end the four-month Iran war, with a memorandum of understanding signed between the US and Iran.

However, Israeli warplanes and drones carried out attacks in Nabatieh, drawing condemnation from Doctors Without Borders and Hezbollah.

US envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi were headed to Switzerland for talks, but the meeting was delayed due to the renewed violence.

President Trump claimed credit for the ceasefire, while also asserting that Israel would have been 'crushed' without US support.
