Earlier, the Israeli military had declared that the group launched three projectiles into the region, releasing images in which an explosion can be heard followed by a column of smoke. Israel's latest attack on Beirut's suburbs came a week ago, triggering the most serious escalation of fighting since a fragile ceasefire began on April 7. Iran retaliated by attacking Israel, and the Israeli government responded with new attacks on Iranian territory the following day. Since this exchange of aggression, the US and Iran have moved towards an agreement. In its current form, the text represents a deep disappointment for the Israeli government, which was marginalized in negotiations led by Pakistan and other countries. Iran demands that the ceasefire pact include fighting in Lebanon, as well as seeking the release of billions of dollars in frozen funds. Hezbollah fired missiles at Israel on March 2, two days after the US and Israel attacked Iran, starting the Middle East war. Israeli troops have deepened their invasion of Lebanon to a level unseen in more than a quarter of a century. Now on g1 Mediators bring Iran and the US closer to an agreement Qatari mediators traveled to Tehran on Sunday to finalize the deal, according to two regional officials. The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press, expressed cautious optimism that the US and Iran are finally close to an understanding that could halt hostilities — which have already left thousands dead — and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, whose closure has destabilized world markets. US President Donald Trump and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Saturday that the deal would be signed on Sunday, while Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said it could happen in the coming days. Trump stated that the Strait of Hormuz will be opened immediately after the signing. The document is expected to be signed electronically, without an in-person presidential ceremony, although it is not yet clear when or how the formal act will take place. Donald Trump says agreement with Iran will be signed on Sunday (14) Reproduction/Social media Nuclear issues and other pending points The agreement does not resolve the most complex issues between the US and Iran, including Iran's nuclear program or frozen assets, but it provides a 60-day framework for technical discussions on these topics. The information comes from Pakistani and regional officials familiar with the ongoing negotiations, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to lack of public authorization. The representatives described Pakistan's months-long effort to lead the negotiations, fighting to prevent both sides from abandoning the meetings and the dialogue from collapsing entirely on several occasions. Under the current terms under discussion, the US and Israel appear not to have achieved their original goals of destroying Iran's nuclear and missile programs, as well as ending Tehran's support for allied groups (proxies). It is unclear how the agreement will address these points or whether they will be part of the final text. Critics within Trump's own Republican Party, which is facing the strain of an unpopular war ahead of the midterm elections, criticized the pact. A Some have said the proposal does not improve the terms of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which Trump withdrew the US from during his first term and which he still describes as "bad." Meanwhile, Trump is expected to discuss mine clearance in the Strait of Hormuz during the G7 summit, which begins this Monday. The sea route is crucial for the global flow of oil, natural gas and derived products such as fertilizers, and its practical closure has shaken the world economy. Iran's nuclear program and highly enriched uranium have long been at the center of tensions with the US and Israel, posing an international concern. On social media, Trump stated that "when everything is calm", the US would act to "dilute and destroy" enriched uranium, whether in Iran or the US. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Iran possesses 440.9 kilograms of uranium enriched to up to 60% purity, a technical step short of the 90% level needed for nuclear weapons. Iran has maintained for years that its nuclear program is for strictly peaceful purposes and has not publicly committed to giving up enriched uranium, which is believed to be stored beneath three underground nuclear facilities severely damaged by American strikes last year.
