US, Iran, Hezbollah spar over murky terms of ceasefire deal

Key Points:

• Iran's top diplomat stated that the continued Israeli military presence in southern Lebanon violates the interim US-Iran deal aimed at ending the war, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists troops will remain there as long as necessary for security reasons.
• The US-Iran preliminary peace deal, expected to be formally signed in Switzerland, includes a $300 billion private investment fund backed by Gulf countries to aid Iran's rebuilding, contingent on Iran fulfilling its commitments like dismantling its nuclear program.
• Tensions remain high as Israel continues airstrikes in southern Lebanon, killing at least four people, and Hezbollah has fired rockets into Israeli territory; Iran has threatened harsh military retaliation if Israeli strikes persist.
• US President Donald Trump expressed dissatisfaction with Israel's handling of the Lebanon-Hezbollah conflict, urging Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to act more responsibly to avoid undermining the US-Iran ceasefire agreement.
• The US Senate narrowly blocked a resolution to end the Iran war, reflecting ongoing political divisions in Washington, while regional actors like Qatar express cautious optimism that the US-Iran deal could enhance Middle East security.
