According to Paul Wallace, the U.S. and Iran are still progressing towards a deal, but it will likely take a few more days to finalize with no guarantee of success.

Neither Israel nor the United States has suggested that the Israeli Defense Forces would pull back from their current positions in Lebanon.

The Israeli Defense Forces captured the symbolic, Crusader-era Beaufort Castle in Lebanon over the weekend.

Israeli troops have advanced further into Lebanon than they have been in approximately 25 years.

Iran recently broke its silence on the Israeli Defense Forces' invasion of Lebanon, stating it would derail U.S.-Iran talks.

The basic outlines of an interim peace deal between the U.S. and Iran have been in place for approximately two weeks.

A significant point of contention in U.S.-Iran negotiations is whether Iran will permit the free passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz under an interim agreement.

Iran is insisting on maintaining some form of control over the Strait of Hormuz in its ongoing negotiations with the United States.
