Trump says ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon begins tonight

There’s also still hopes of a deal between Iran and the U.S.

Hopes of a deal between Iran and the United States have also been growing after nearly seven weeks of war.

A security source said a Pakistani mediator had made a breakthrough on “sticky issues,” although Tehran said the fate of its nuclear program had not been resolved.

The U.S. and Pakistan have been talking up prospects for a deal after nearly seven weeks of war, with Trump saying the accord would open the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world’s oil and gas supply flows.

Field Marshal Asim Munir, Pakistan’s army chief and an important figure in mediation efforts, arrived in Tehran on Wednesday to try to prevent a renewal of the conflict after talks in Islamabad that ended without a deal.

A senior Iranian official told Reuters on Thursday the trip had led to greater hopes for a second round of talks and an extension of a two-week ceasefire, but said fundamental differences remain over its nuclear program.
