Israel continues to strike Lebanon
Israel has carried out an intense wave of strikes in Lebanon.
President Trump has said Iran will no longer enrich uranium, after agreeing to a two-week ceasefire. Both sides have claimed victory in the conflict and say they're ready for further negotiations. We speak to our Washington correspondent and ask three Americans what they make of the ceasefire.
Israel says it supports the two-week truce with Iran, but it has vowed to push ahead with its offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon. The Lebanese health minister says that there've been hundreds of casualties - both dead and wounded - across Lebanon after the Israeli military carried out its most intense wave of strikes since its latest conflict with Hezbollah began. We speak to our correspondent in Beirut and ask Israelis what they make of the ceasefire.
Our correspondent explains Pakistan鈥檚 role as a mediator, and 麻豆社 Verify assesses whether the ceasefire has had any impact yet on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
Presenter: James Reynolds.
