Iran is pushing for US troop withdrawal and continued uranium enrichment, while missile strikes on Israel persist. The truce remains fragile amid deep mistrust and ongoing political controversy.
Despite a ceasefire agreement between the US, Israel, and Iran, tensions are rising due to Israeli attacks in Lebanon and Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Prime Minister Netanyahu backed the US-brokered two-week ceasefire with Iran but clarified that the truce excludes Lebanon.
