3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 4

Abbas Araghchi said late Wednesday that Iran had made “no tangible progress” in negotiations with the US over an interim peace deal.
The remark signals the talks remain stalled, with Tehran publicly rejecting any suggestion of a recent breakthrough in the negotiation process.
Lebanon also saw renewed fighting despite Washington’s declaration of a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, underscoring broader regional instability around the diplomacy.
The twin setbacks leave US efforts to calm tensions facing pressure on both the diplomatic track with Iran and the security front in Lebanon.
