A 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon began on Thursday, sparking hopes for a broader peace in the region. US President Donald Trump said a meeting with Iran could happen soon, potentially leading to a deal. The conflict, which started with a US-Israeli attack on February 28, has killed thousands and raised oil prices. Trump's administration has struggled to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and curb Tehran's nuclear program. The ceasefire in Lebanon was met with celebrations, but its stability is uncertain. Israel's military warned residents not to move south of the Litani River, citing continued Hezbollah activity. Iran welcomed the ceasefire, seeing it as part of an understanding with the US mediated by Pakistan. The hardest issues, including Iran's nuclear program, remain unresolved.
