Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah continued fighting on Monday, even though the United States and Iran say they have reached an agreement aimed toward ending the war. A formal signing ceremony is scheduled for Friday.
US President Donald Trump said on Monday that the agreement with Iran was "all signed" and that the Strait of Hormuz was already "partially open".
Speaking alongside French President Emmanuel Macron at the G7 summit in France, Trump said that he would not attend a formal signing ceremony for the Iran agreement, and that Vice-President JD Vance would travel to Geneva to sign the deal on behalf of the United States.
The US and Iran have electronically signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the war, US media reported on Monday.
