Trump: Iran deal can survive if fighting in Lebanon continues

Iranian state television quoted Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi making the comment to foreign diplomats in a briefing.

World leaders welcomed news of a U.S.-Iran ceasefire deal as negotiators work through key issues before Friday's signing.

As the US and Iran intend to sign an agreement to end the war, Israel insists it will maintain its military occupation in Lebanon.

Disagreements persist over issues such as funding, sanctions, and navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran maintaining it may impose tolls after a temporary exemption period.
