Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a 10-day ceasefire that took effect at 21:00 GMT on Thursday, US President Donald Trump said after speaking with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun.
Even as the Lebanon truce takes shape, tensions remain high. US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth warned that American forces are ready to resume combat if Iran does not agree to a deal to end the war, while a Pakistani delegation led by the army chief held talks in Tehran on the possibility of restarting negotiations with Washington.
In Washington, the US Senate voted down a Democratic-led resolution that sought to halt the war on Iran without formal authorisation from Congress.
