Tensions between the US and Iran remain high as the conflict approaches 100 days. Both nations are engaged in military actions and diplomatic exchanges. Iran insists on a ceasefire in Lebanon before any deal with the US. The US has intercepted Iranian drones and seized an oil tanker. Oil prices have seen fluctuations.

Iran and the US said last week that they had reached a tentative initial agreement to halt the war. But the two sides have yet to sign off on the deal.

Lebanon has emerged as a key sticking point in Trump’s efforts to sign a ceasefire deal with Iran.
