Iran's UN envoy Amir Saeid Iravani said on Monday Tehran and Washington are still negotiating a peace agreement, expressing optimism a final deal could be reached "soon," and replied "we hope so" when asked if an agreement might be concluded before the end of June. Iravani said the current ceasefire is comprehensive and applies across the region, including Lebanon — a characterization Israel disputes. Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu said Israel has decided not to take further action against Iran but will continue strikes against Hezbollah.
