唐纳德·特朗普总统于2月28日宣布对伊朗采取“重大作战行动”，美国和以色列联合大规模打击军事、政府和基础设施场所。
在宣布为期两周的停火后，美国和伊朗4月份在巴基斯坦的首次会谈未能达成和平协议。
特朗普后来宣布无限期延长停火，并继续美国的封锁，直到谈判“以某种方式”结束。
Bessent没有说美国和伊朗之间是否有最终协议
尽管有报道称，美国和伊朗已达成协议，但需要唐纳德·特朗普总统的最终批准，财政部长斯科特·贝森特没有承诺说，与伊朗的协议目前已经摆在桌面上。
贝森特在周四的新闻发布会上说，他不会预览和平协议，谈判代表一直在“来回走动”。
贝桑特表示，在与伊朗达成协议的问题上,“或许这里具备达成协议的条件”。
内塔尼亚胡称以色列的目标是控制70%的加沙地带
以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡透露，以色列的目标是控制70%的加沙地带。
“我们目前正在挤压哈马斯;我们现在控制了加沙地带60%的领土——你知道的。我们在50[%]，我们移动到60[%]。我的指示是转移到...首先，70[%]，”内塔尼亚胡在周四的一次活动中说。
“让我们从这开始吧。我们从四面八方向他们施压。我们会处理残余分子，”他说。
尽管中央司令部声称违反停火，但停火仍然有效
一位美国消息人士周四证实，尽管美国中央司令部声称伊朗夜间“严重违反停火协议”，但伊朗和美国之间现有的停火仍然有效。
自4月8日正式生效的停火协议，并没有阻止两国周期性的交火。总统一再声称，尽管进行了这些交流，停火仍然有效，他将5月初对伊朗的一次此类袭击描述为对美国广播公司新闻的“爱情窃听”，并否认停火已经结束。
“不，不，停火正在进行。实际上，”他当时说。
当天晚些时候，特朗普表示，当世界看到“伊朗发出一片巨大的光芒”时，就会知道停火何时结束。
谈判者认为他们已经起草了协议，但是领导人还没有签字同意
美国和伊朗谈判代表认为，他们已经达成一项协议草案，正式延长停火并逐步开放霍尔木兹海峡，可以赢得两国的支持，但美国总统唐纳德·特朗普和伊朗最高领袖莫杰塔巴·哈梅内伊尚未给予最后的批准——据两名美国官员和另一名了解谈判情况的消息人士称，这意味着目前没有协议。
特朗普和伊朗领导层以前都曾在谈判的后期拒绝过交易。美国官员还表示，特朗普政府仍然担心分裂的伊朗政权在任何协议背后凝聚的能力，但伊朗高级官员已经表示，该政权可以接受目前摆在桌面上的条款。
美国消息人士还证实，美国和伊朗谈判代表已经达成协议，但仍需要特朗普的最终批准，这是由Axios首先报道的。
美国官员证实，总统已经听取了谅解备忘录草案的简报，并表示将在60天内完全开放霍尔木兹海峡，伊朗将放松对水道的控制，美国将同步撤销海军封锁，直到海峡恢复到战前状态。
贝森特称美国财政部继续针对伊朗政权
财政部长斯科特·贝森特(Scott Bessent)表示，美国继续以伊朗政权为目标，称其军队没有领到工资，警察没有上班报道，哈格岛被关闭。
“伊朗经济和货币正处于自由落体状态。伊朗的波斯湾海峡管理局(PGSA)是个笑话，今天财政部已经批准了它。我们已经警告任何企业或国家实体不要支付通行费或将其隐藏为援助款项，”Bessent在X周四的一篇帖子中说。
“美国的海上封锁形成了一堵钢铁墙，确保了水面上伊朗原油的创纪录低位。我们还将关闭伊朗航空公司的降落点、加油和售票服务。只有谈判取得令人满意的结果，才能结束这种恶性循环，”他表示。

提尔一直是以色列在黎巴嫩南部袭击的目标。以色列国防军说，他们的目标是真主党成员和基础设施，但黎巴嫩官员报告说，平民死亡人数迅速上升。
根据黎巴嫩公共卫生部的统计，在3月2日至5月26日期间，以色列军队在黎巴嫩各地至少杀害了3213人，另有9737人受伤。
尽管黎巴嫩和以色列领导人4月份在美国的斡旋下达成停火协议，但杀戮仍在继续。以色列表示，为了削弱真主党的能力，阻止这个伊朗支持的组织向以色列北部开火，他们正在进行的打击是必要的。
与此同时，真主党继续袭击在黎巴嫩南部执行以色列地面行动的以色列军队，并对以色列北部进行远程袭击。

Iran live updates: Negotiators believe they have draft deal, leaders haven't approved
President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.
Following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire,initial U.S.-Iran talksin Pakistan in April failed to reach a peace deal.
Trump later announced the open-ended extension of the ceasefire and the continuation of a U.S. blockade until negotiations are concluded "one way or the other."
Bessent does not say if there is a final agreement ready between the U.S. and Iran
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent did not commit to saying that a deal with Iran is currently on the table despite reports that the U.S. and Iran have reached an agreement but need President Donald Trump’s final approval.
Bessent said he wasn’t going to preview a peace deal and that the negotiators have been "going back and forth," during a press briefing Thursday.
Bessent suggested that "perhaps have the makings of a deal here" when it comes to an agreement with Iran.
Netanyahu says Israel aims to control 70% of Gaza Strip
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed Israel aims to control 70% of the Gaza Strip.
“We are currently squeezing Hamas; we now control 60% of the territory of the Strip — you know this. We were at 50[%], we moved to 60[%]. My directive is to move to ... First of all, 70[%]," Netanyahu said while speaking at an event Thursday.
"Let’s start with that. We’re pressing them from all sides; we’ll deal with the remnants," he said.
Ceasefire still in place despite CENTCOM's claims of violations
Despite U.S. Central Command's assertion of an "egregious ceasefire violation" overnight by Iran, the existing ceasefire between Iran and the U.S. remains in place, a U.S. source confirmed on Thursday.
The ceasefire, which has officially been in place since April 8, has not stopped both countries from periodically exchanging fire. The president has repeatedly asserted that the ceasefire remains in effect in spite of those exchanges, describing one such strike against Iran in early May as just a "love tap" to ABC News and denying that the ceasefire was over.
"No, no, the ceasefire is going. It's in effect," he said at the time.
Later that day, Trump said the world will know when the ceasefire is over when it sees "one big glow coming out of Iran."
Negotiators believe they have draft deal, but leaders haven't signed off
American and Iranian negotiators believe they have arrived at a draft agreement to formally extend the ceasefire and gradually open the Strait of Hormuz that can win the support of both countries, but President Donald Trump and Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei have not yet given their final stamps approval -- meaning there is no deal at this point, according to two U.S. officials and another source with knowledge of the negotiations.
Both Trump and Iranian leadership have rejected deals in the late stages of negotiations before. The U.S. officials also say the Trump administration is still concerned about the fractured Iranian regime’s ability to coalesce behind any agreement, but that high-level Iranian officials have indicated the regime can accept the terms that are currently on the table.
U.S. sources also confirmed that U.S. and Iranian negotiators have reached a deal, but it still needs Trump’s final approval, which was first reported by Axios.
The U.S. officials confirm that the president has been briefed on the draft memorandum of understanding, and say it would see the Strait of Hormuz fully opened over the course of 60 days -- with Iran loosening its grip on the waterway and the U.S. pulling back its naval blockade in synchronized steps until the strait returns to its pre-war status quo.
Bessent says US Treasury continues to target Iranian regime
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the U.S. continues to target the Iranian regime, saying its troops are not getting paid, the police are not reporting for work and Kharg Island is shut down.
"The Iranian economy and currency are in free fall. Iran’s Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) is a joke, and today Treasury has sanctioned it. We have warned any corporate or state entities against paying tolls or hiding them as aid payments," Bessent said in a post on X Thursday.
"Forming a Wall of Steel, the U.S. Naval Blockade has ensured a record low amount of Iranian crude on the water. We will also be shutting down both Iranian airlines’ access to landing spots, refueling, and ticket sales. Only a satisfactory outcome in negotiations will end the downward spiral," he said.
IDF claims strikes on 135 alleged Hezbollah targets in 24 hours
The Israel Defense Forces said Thursday that it struck more than 135 alleged Hezbollah targets across Lebanon over the previous 24 hours.
The targeted areas included Tyre and other parts of southern Lebanon as well as the Beqaa Valley in the east, according to the IDF. The IDF also confirmed a new strike in Beirut on Thursday.
Overnight, the IDF issued more forced evacuation warnings to residents of Lebanon, specifically the city of Tyre and Zaqqoq Al-Mufdi in the south of the country.
Israel confirms new strike in Beirut

CENTCOM says Iran launched missile toward Kuwait
U.S. Central Command alleged in a post to X on Thursday that Iran "launched a ballistic missile toward Kuwait that was successfully intercepted by Kuwaiti forces," in what it called an "egregious ceasefire violation."

"All drones were successfully intercepted by U.S. forces which also prevented a sixth drone launch from an Iranian ground control site in Bandar Abbas," CENTCOM said.
Israeli strikes rock Tyre in southern Lebanon
Israel launched fresh strikes on the southern Lebanese city of Tyre on Thursday morning, following the Israel Defense Forces' latest evacuation order for residents of the city.
Earlier on Thursday, the IDF issued an "urgent warning" to residents of Zuqaq al-Mufdi, a neighborhood in Tyre, to evacuate ahead of planned strikes.
Tyre has been a regular target of Israel's strikes in southern Lebanon. The IDF says it is targeting Hezbollah members and infrastructure, but Lebanese officials report a rapidly mounting civilian death toll.
Between March 2 and May 26, Israeli forces had killed at least 3,213 people and wounded another 9,737 across Lebanon, according to a tally from the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health.
The continued killings come despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreed between Lebanese and Israeli leaders in April. Israel says its ongoing strikes are necessary to degrade Hezbollah capabilities and stop the Iran-backed group from firing toward northern Israel.
Hezbollah, meanwhile, continues its attacks on Israeli forces prosecuting Israel's ground campaign inside southern Lebanon and longer-range attacks into northern Israel.

"The aggressor bears full responsibility for the consequences," the IRGC added.
US conducts new airstrikes in southern Iran: US official
The U.S. carried out new airstrikes in southern Iran, shooting down four one-way attack drones that posed a threat around the Strait of Hormuz and then a ground control site, a U.S. official said.
The official said U.S. forces struck an Iranian ground control station in Bandar Abbas that was about to launch a fifth drone.
The official called the strikes "measured, purely defensive, and intended to maintain the ceasefire."
This is the second time in three days that the U.S. has carried out self-defense strikes against Iranian military targets in southern Iran.
On Monday the U.S. carried out airstrikes against Iranian missile locations and boats that U.S. Central Command said were preparing to launch mines in the Strait of Hormuz.

“As President Trump has said, negotiations are proceeding nicely and he has made his redlines clear. President Trump will only make a good deal for the American people, which must ensure that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon," White House spokesperson Olivia Wales said in a statement when asked about the reports.
Iranian State TV reveals details from potential US-Iran MOU
Iranian State TV has released details of what it said is in a possible Memorandum of Understanding between Iran and U.S., but aknowledged the agreement has not yet been finalized.
As part of the agreement, U.S. military forces will withdraw from the surrounding environment of Iran, and the naval blockade of Iran will be lifted, Iranian State TV said.
In return, Iran has committed to restoring the number of commercial transit ships to pre-tension levels within one month. Military vessels are not included in this agreement, according to Iranian State TV.
The management and routing of ship traffic will be carried out jointly by Iran and with the cooperation of Oman, according to Iranian State TV.
If a final agreement is reached within a 60-day period, the deal will be confirmed through a binding United Nations Security Council resolution, according to Iranian State TV.
The White House Rapid Response account railed against the reports of an initial memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran, claiming it to be "not true" and a "complete fabrication."
"This report from Iranian controlled media is not true and the MOU they 'released' is a complete fabrication. Nobody should believe what Iranian state media is putting out. FACTS MATTER," the Rapid Response X account said, in response to a Fox News broadcast detailing the report of the alleged document.
Israeli strikes kill 31 more people in Lebanon, officials say
Israeli attacks killed at least 31 people and wounded 40 others in Lebanon on Tuesday, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health, as Israel said it was "deepening" its military operation there.
Four children were among the dead and 10 other children were among the injured, the health ministry said.
Since March 2, Israeli forces have killed at least 3,213 people and wounded another 9,737 across Lebanon, according to the latest tally from the health ministry. The continued killings come despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreed between Lebanese and Israeli leaders in April.
Israel claims its strikes are targeting Hezbollah fighters and infrastructure, but Lebanese officials have reported many civilians among the casualties.
On Wednesday, Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Avichay Adraee issued a new evacuation order for the southern Lebanese city of Nabatieh, warning that the IDF intended to act "forcefully" against alleged Hezbollah targets in the area.
Hezbollah, meanwhile, continues its attacks on Israeli forces prosecuting Israel's ground campaign inside southern Lebanon. The Iran-backed group is also regularly launching longer-range attacks into northern Israel.
