        "summary": "Hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon have de-escalated following a temporary US-Iran peace deal, though Israel insists on maintaining operational freedom in southern Lebanon. Meanwhile, technical talks between the US and Iran concluded with proposals for working groups on sanctions and nuclear issues, while Tehran asserts its permanent administrative control over the Strait of Hormuz.",
        "content": "<p>Lebanon was drawn into a wider Middle Eastern conflict in early March\nwhen the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah attacked Israel in\nretaliation for US and Israeli strikes on Iran. Israel responded with\nstrikes across Lebanon and subsequently invaded the country\u2019s south,\nwhere Israeli forces remain stationed. Beirut is pursuing US-mediated\nnegotiations with Israel as a means to achieve peace. Lebanese leaders,\nincluding President Joseph Aoun, have stressed that Tehran cannot\nnegotiate on Beirut\u2019s behalf. However, a temporary peace agreement\nbetween the US and Iran includes a cessation of all hostilities,\nincluding in Lebanon, a key condition for Tehran that had repeatedly\nstalled negotiations. Fighting in Lebanon has subsided since Saturday\nnight (20 June), a significant development that had not been achieved\nsustainably in previous rounds of Lebanon-Israel talks. Israel is not a\nparty to the US-Iran peace deal. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin\nNetanyahu stated on Monday (22 June) that the Israeli military would\nmaintain \u2018freedom of action\u2019 against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.\n\u2018Iran wants us to withdraw from the area, but I remain steadfast,\u2019\nNetanyahu said. \u2018We will maintain our freedom of action and keep a\nsecurity zone to protect citizens\u2019 in northern Israel. Beirut,\nmeanwhile, continues to insist that the withdrawal of Israeli forces\nfrom Lebanese territory is a primary objective of the negotiations.\nIranian state media reported on Tuesday (23 June) that technical\nnegotiations between Iran and the US in Switzerland concluded with a\nproposal to form working groups to address nuclear issues and sanctions\nrelief. According to the state news agency IRNA, Deputy Foreign Minister\nKazem Gharibabadi said the envoys \u2018decided that four working groups will\nbe formed, namely Sanctions Cessation, Nuclear Affairs, Reconstruction\nand Economic Development, and Monitoring and Implementation.\u2019 Earlier,\nUS Vice President JD Vance stated on Monday that Iran intends to allow\nInternational Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors back into the\ncountry, though no timeline has been set. Vance made the remarks after\ntalks with the Iranian delegation at the B\u00fcrgenstock resort complex in\nSwitzerland. However, Iran has not confirmed the plan. Foreign Ministry\nspokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said any decision to readmit IAEA inspections\nmust first be coordinated with parliament and the Supreme National\nSecurity Council. US President Donald Trump has also renewed pressure on\nIran to grant IAEA access. The UN nuclear watchdog has been unable to\naccess Iran\u2019s uranium enrichment facilities since the Israeli and US\nstrikes in June. Tehran has also asserted that it will maintain\nadministrative control over the Strait of Hormuz and \u2018will never\u2019 return\nto pre-war conditions, state media reported on Tuesday (22 June). \u2018All\nparties must know that the administration of the Strait of Hormuz will\nnever return to pre-war conditions,\u2019 Iran\u2019s chief negotiator Mohammad\nBagher Ghalibaf said in an interview, according to IRNA. \u2018Of course,\ninternational regulations will still be observed, but Iran will manage\nthe Strait of Hormuz.\u2019 The statement contradicts demands by US President\nDonald Trump, who has called for the unconditional reopening of the\nstrait to shipping traffic. Since the temporary US-Iran peace agreement\ntook effect, ship traffic in the strategic waterway has increased.\nHowever, Tehran\u2019s announcement on Saturday (20 June) that the strait was\nbeing closed again in response to Israeli strikes on Lebanon has raised\nquestions about Iran\u2019s long-term plans. It also remains unclear whether\nTehran intends to impose tariffs on vessels transiting the Strait of\nHormuz. Before the war, passage through the strait, which borders Iran\nand Oman, was free. However, last month Iran established a new\ngovernment authority to collect payments from ships, stating that\nvessels were still expected to register with the Persian Gulf Strait\nAuthority before transiting. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz during\nthe Iran war disrupted one of the world\u2019s key supply routes and\ntriggered a spike in global oil prices that fuelled inflation.<\/p>",
