"Any cease-fire must be complete and include the entire territory of Lebanon. It cannot include freedom of movement for the enemy or allow any violation on his part. We will determine our position regarding the cease-fire in accordance with the enemy's commitment in the shadow of non-respect of the previous agreements."
An official Lebanese source told Al Jazeera that Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri conveyed Hezbollah's commitment to a full mutual ceasefire to President Aoun and the American ambassador.
NEW: An Iranian official told Al Jazeera that Tehran warned Washington an Israeli strike on Beirut would deal a major blow to ongoing efforts to end the war and could collapse the diplomatic track entirely.
U.S. official to Al Jazeera: Hezbollah ignored repeated demands to stop firing on Israel, including a final warning. Israel will respond to strikes on its military and civilians.
An Iranian source tells Al Jazeera that disputes have surfaced in U.S.-Iran negotiations over the unfreezing of Iranian assets and a proposed Lebanon ceasefire. Tehran is demanding full agreement on all clauses before any deal is signed.
Al Jazeera: Sources say the Iran draft proposal includes ending the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, unfreezing billions in Iranian funds, lifting the U.S. naval blockade, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and pulling U.S. forces away from Iran’s vicinity.
The sides would then have 30 days, extendable by agreement, to finalize a nuclear deal. Iran says future management of the Strait would be handled jointly with Oman.
An American source told Al Jazeera that Trump's patience is wearing thin due to the lack of progress with Iran, adding that Iran has only days remaining.
Iran says it will not discuss its nuclear program with the U.S. unless five conditions are met: an end to the war on all fronts, full sanctions relief, release of frozen assets, war reparations, and recognition of Iran's sovereign right over the Strait of Hormuz.

Al Jazeera publishes details of Iran's latest offer to the U.S., delivered through Pakistan. The proposal has three phases:
Phase 1: Convert the ceasefire into a full end to the war within 30 days, across the entire region including Lebanon. Mutual commitments by Iran, the U.S., Israeli, and Iranian proxies not to attack each other. Iran would gradually reopen the Strait of Hormuz and clear the mines it laid, accepting U.S. assistance. In return, the U.S. lifts its blockade of Iranian ports. An international body would be established to oversee compliance. Iran revised its demand for reparations in "new and sophisticated wording." The proposal also demands withdrawal of forces from Iran's maritime surroundings and an end to major force concentrations in the region.
Phase 2: Freeze uranium enrichment for 15 years. After that, Iran resumes enrichment to 3.6% but commits not to stockpile enriched uranium. Iran rejects the U.S. demand to dismantle nuclear infrastructure or destroy facilities. Already-enriched uranium would be transferred to other countries or diluted to civilian levels. Sanctions lifted gradually on a clear timetable, including release of frozen Iranian assets worldwide.
Phase 3: Iran enters strategic dialogue with Arab and regional states to build a region-wide security framework.
Al Jazeera, citing the proposal delivered via Pakistan.
"The US is no longer in a position to dictate its policies to independent nations. America should accept that it must abandon its illegal and irrational demands."
Hezbollah plans to use suicide bomber groups against IDF positions in southern Lebanon, per Al Jazeera. This comes as exchanges of fire and ground operations continue despite last week's three-week ceasefire extension.
