The announcement of a new deal between the US and Iran to end months of fighting and blockades has elicited a sigh of relief in much of the Middle East.
Iran's Mehr news agency has republished what it said was the contents of the framework, set to be signed Friday.
According to Mehr, the agreement provides for a "permanent and immediate cessation of war on all fronts, including Lebanon".
This aspect of the agreement has provoked a furious response from the Israeli government.
"Trump's agreement does not bind us... we are not party to this agreement. It does not safeguard our security," National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said on his Telegram channel.
