A fragile US-Iran ceasefire came under renewed strain after Washington launched strikes on Iranian targets in response to an alleged drone attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran responded by targeting US positions in the region, while a separate US-brokered framework agreement between Israel and Lebanon marked a significant diplomatic development despite opposition from Hezbollah.

Here are the latest updates: 

US Central Command said American forces struck Iranian targets after a drone attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.

  • A US official told Fox News the military operation concluded for the night after the strikes.

  • Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it targeted US military positions in the region in retaliation for the American attack.

  • Iranian lawmakers condemned the strikes as a violation of the ceasefire and warned Washington would regret the escalation.

  • Lebanon and Israel signed a US-mediated framework agreement following several days of negotiations in Washington.

  • According to reports, the agreement includes mutual recognition of each country's right to exist in peace and security.

  • The framework envisions the Lebanese army gradually assuming responsibility for security in designated areas as part of efforts to strengthen state authority.

  • Lebanon's presidency described the agreement as a first step toward restoring full sovereignty across Lebanese territory.

  • Hezbollah rejected the agreement, while supporters staged protests and road blockades in Beirut.

  • Israeli officials indicated forces would remain in southern Lebanon under the terms of the understanding, while military planners prepare to reduce troop levels in some sectors.
