The United States and Iran have agreed to halt strikes against each other, in a potential breakthrough after weeks of escalating tensions. The two sides are expected to meet in Doha on Tuesday to address their dispute over the Strait of Hormuz.
The United States and Iran have agreed to stop carrying out strikes against each other, according to a senior U.S. official, in a move that could ease tensions after weeks of escalation. Both sides are expected to meet in Doha on Tuesday to discuss the standoff over the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global oil shipments.
The Israeli military says it has destroyed underground infrastructure used by Hezbollah in a village in southern Lebanon, according to a joint statement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz.
The strike targeted a 200‑metre tunnel in the town of Majdal Zoun, with officials adding that the United States had been informed in advance of the operation.
Iran did not take part in planned technical talks on Sunday, citing recent attacks and unmet conditions under its agreement with the United States, according to state media.

A second person on the vessel was injured. Authorities said the missing boat was located early on Sunday after a search operation, but did not disclose the exact location or confirm any link to recent regional attacks.
Iran’s state television reports that vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz must coordinate with the country’s Revolutionary Guards. Authorities specify the safest routes: ships entering the Gulf should navigate south of Hormuz Island, while those exiting should pass south of Larak Island. The guidance highlights Iran’s continued control over the vital shipping corridor amid ongoing regional tensions.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran alone is responsible for restoring maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels.
He warned that involvement by any other party would only complicate efforts to return Gulf shipping to normal.
Iraq's foreign minister said Baghdad does not support any expansion of the Gulf war and opposes attacks on Iran, calling for restraint as regional tensions remain high.

A residential building in Bahrain was damaged during an Iranian attack, the country's interior ministry said. Authorities reported no deaths and did not immediately provide details on the extent of the damage.
Iran said U.S. airstrikes hit monitoring and surveillance facilities on its southern coast, accusing Washington of violating an interim deal meant to end the war.
Tehran said the attacks showed the U.S. did not value its commitments.
The Israeli military said it killed Hezbollah militants and struck a launcher in the Nabatiyeh area of southern Lebanon. The announcement came as tensions remain high despite repeated ceasefire efforts between Israel and Hezbollah.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said early Sunday (28 June) that its navy and aerospace forces carried out a joint missile and drone operation targeting U.S. military sites in Kuwait and Bahrain, describing the attacks as retaliation for recent U.S. strikes on Iran.
In a statement carried by Press TV, the IRGC also warned that "violating the ceasefire is contrary to Clause 1 of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding and will result in the complete halt of all diplomatic processes."
