On June 1, the United States and Iran exchanged information over the weekend, seeking to modify a draft agreement aimed at extending a ceasefire and reopening the Strait of Hormuz; however, it remains unclear whether substantial progress has been made on key issues. As diplomatic negotiations continue, Israel has further expanded its ground military operations against Lebanon, jeopardizing the already fragile ceasefire arrangement. President Donald Trump has not commented on the Iran issue since he indicated last Friday during a White House Situation Room meeting that he expected to announce an agreement. Earlier that day, he reiterated his demands on social media, including Iran's suspension of its nuclear program and the complete restoration of the Strait of Hormuz to its previous status as a free international waterway. The semi-official Tasnim News Agency, closely linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, reported on Sunday that both sides are still proposing amendments, but noted that the US and Iran may ultimately reject these modifications, leading to a breakdown of the overall agreement. According to Tasnim, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that talks and information exchanges are ongoing, and it is premature to make judgments before reaching a final outcome. He emphasized that everything being said now is merely speculation and should not be overinterpreted. Meanwhile, Israel has launched its most extensive attacks on Lebanon in 25 years, while Iran's key regional ally, Hezbollah, has intensified its attacks on northern Israel. (Sina Finance)
