Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said no agreement with the United States would be accepted until Iran's rights are secured. He accused Washington of trying to pressure and divide Iran. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump said a "very good deal" with Iran is close and claimed Tehran has agreed not to develop nuclear weapons. The conflict also spread to Lebanon. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered troops to move deeper into southern Lebanon and capture strategic positions. Israeli strikes and ground operations continued, while Lebanon reported injuries near a hospital. Diplomatic efforts are ongoing, but tensions remain high across the region.
