Trump Tells AFP 'No Sticking Points' Left for Deal with Iran

On Friday, President Donald Trump told AFP that a deal with Iran was "very close" with "no sticking points" left, as Iran declared the Strait of Hormuz open to commercial shipping.
Tehran insisted that halting the Lebanon fighting must be part of any agreement, and a 10-day ceasefire in Lebanon facilitated the progress toward a broader war-ending deal with Iran.
Minutes before the ceasefire began, Israeli strikes in the southern Lebanese city of Tyre killed at least 13 people. Under the truce, Israel reserves the right to strike Hezbollah to prevent "planned, imminent or ongoing attacks" and maintains a 10-kilometre security zone.
President Joseph Aoun called direct negotiations with Israel "crucial," stating Beirut aims to "consolidate a ceasefire, secure the withdrawal of Israeli forces" and address outstanding border disputes.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned military action could resume if the area is not "cleared of terrorists and weapons," while Hezbollah stated its finger remains "on the trigger" regarding any Israeli violations.
