Iranian state media reported that Tehran is halting peace negotiations with the United States and may end a ceasefire amid ongoing Israeli attacks in Lebanon. President Trump stated the peace talks had become 'boring' and denied direct communication with Iran, while the UN Security Council (excluding the U.S.) urged Israel to withdraw from southern Lebanon. Trump claimed to have secured a mutual non-attack agreement with Hezbollah and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but Netanyahu later warned of continued military operations. A partial ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel was announced, though hostilities persisted.
