U.S. and Iran Trade Drafts of Deal as Israel Expands Lebanon Assault
The draft would extend a ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, while Israel’s Lebanon offensive and Hezbollah attacks threaten the fragile truce.
- The United States and Iran exchanged proposed changes over the weekend to a draft agreement aimed at extending a ceasefire and regulating the Strait of Hormuz, though progress remains uncertain.
- Iranian state media reported the draft includes access to $12 billion in frozen funds within 60 days, yet claims Iran seeks "exclusive authority to determine the nature of transiting vessels," a point the U.S. is unlikely to accept.
- Amid the diplomatic exchanges, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz claimed the military established a "permanent presence" at the historic Beaufort castle near Nabatieh on Sunday, expanding Israel's ground offensive in Lebanon.
- Hezbollah fired more than 300 "projectiles" at northern Israel and soldiers, shattering a brittle ceasefire, while airstrikes have killed at least 3,370 people in Lebanon according to the Lebanese health ministry.
- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that both sides might reject the proposed changes, fueling investor caution as the deal could collapse and market volatility persists amid uncertain negotiations.
