Prime Minister NETANYAHU said he had earlier instructed the ISRAELI MILITARY to expand operations in Lebanon and has now ordered it to deepen and broaden Israel's control over areas held by Hezbollah.

Iranian negotiator Saeed Ajorlou said Tehran has not approved the final draft of a proposed agreement with the US; as of Friday night the text remained unapproved though differences were minimal. He said approval would trigger a 60‑day detailed negotiation phase. The draft contains 14 main clauses, each with annexes requiring further negotiation. Ajorlou said enforcement mechanisms—particularly access to Iranian assets and counterpart compliance—are more important than the text itself. The proposal includes a clause allowing Iran to withdraw if the other side fails to meet commitments; cited triggers include breach of a ceasefire, denial of access to Iranian funds, or failure to lift a maritime blockade. He added Iran could reconsider entering the 60‑day talks if initial commitments are not implemented.

U.S. reports on May 30 said companies have begun receiving tariff refunds after the U.S. Supreme Court found the Trump administration lacked authority to impose higher tariffs on nearly all trading partners. The refund process could be disrupted after the administration on May 29 said it plans to appeal a federal judge’s ruling that allows all importers who paid the invalidated tariffs, not just litigants, to seek refunds.
