According to Israeli sources, Israel plans to keep troops in Lebanon, continue operations against Hezbollah, and respond to attacks as needed.
UPDATE: Iranian state TV announces U.S.–Iran peace deal, along with President Trump.
JD Vance - "I think we can safely say, with confidence, that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. Big win tonight."
Iran called off a planned retaliatory attack on Israel after Trump, through intermediaries, urged restraint.
FARS: However, after last-minute U.S. concessions—including guarantees for Lebanon’s territorial integrity, an Israeli withdrawal from the Lebanon border, and an immediate end to the blockade—Iran agreed not to carry out the attack.
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister:
"Some of the revisions we sought in the agreement were facilitated by the events that took place in Lebanon and by the statements issued by the armed forces, which helped move the negotiations forward.
"The armed forces were prepared to deliver a decisive response.
"Trump also took positions and criticized the Zionist regime. Hezbollah likewise gave strong and decisive responses to the Zionist regime’s terrorist action.
"The display of military strength and the threats that were made helped in the process of finalizing the text and advancing certain issues that remained to be resolved before the text could be finalized."
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister - "The end of the U.S. naval blockade against Iran begins tonight."

UPDATE: It seems like a deal will really happen this time... finally... given Tehran is boasting of great and solid results for its side. There are reports this includes a significant release of billions in its frozen assets in the West, reported Zero Hedge.
via Fars News:
- Recent diplomatic efforts have yielded positive results.
- Recent developments have shown that no country cares more about Iran's interests than ourselves
- Even if my personal opinion differs, I consider myself obliged to follow the final decision of the system
- Resolution of the Supreme National Security Council is the basis of action, and whatever is approved and deemed appropriate by the Supreme Leader will be mandatory for all of us.
- I regret the neighboring countries being exposed to the consequences of military actions. Our operation targeted the US bases on the soil of these countries.
- Issues and misunderstandings with Gulf countries are being resolved
- Ties with Gulf region countries are on path to improvement.
- Talks do not mean abandoning principles. Iran won't bow to any kind of bullying or illegal pressure.
- Media reports on war, negotiations do not necessarily reflect Supreme National Security Council views.
Fox News, citing President Trump, says deal could be signed in Next 2-3 Hours.

UPDATE: Fox News is reporting Trump called Netanyahu and told him, "What the f*ck are you doing?!" after the strike in Lebanon.

Trump believes a deal with Iran will be signed within the next two to three hours.
Trump to Israeli Axios Journalist Barak Ravid:
"We were supposed to sign the deal this morning, and the Israeli strike in Beirut delayed it.
"I think the signing will still take place today, within the next few hours.Bibi has no f*cking judgment whatsoever — I conveyed that message to him — that I am very unhappy with the strike in Beirut."
-----------------------------------
UPDATE: President Trump this morning angrily reacted on Truth Social to the Israeli strike on Beirut on the day he said the agreement with Iran would be signed, and on his birthday.

Israel has bombed Dahieh, the southern suburb of Beirut within the last hour, on the day President Trump said the agreement with Iran would be signed. It is also Trump's birthday.
Jerusalem said the attack was in response to Hezbollah firing towards Israeli territory.
The issue of Lebanon has been the sticking point in finding an end to the latest war in the Middle East.
CDM will be on the ground again in Beirut in July.
News to Trump. Throwing Israel under the bus will not achieve the peace deal you are seeking
when is trump going to learn that israel is a cancer almost as bad as iran. those two have no morals ethics and both do whatever they want. there is no integrity, deals and promises mean nothing to either. stop wasting your time on that entire cesspool. let them take each other out. tell iran we won't bother you anymore, you leave the straights open for us, what you do to israel, thats on you the us will no longer support them.
israel has too many times now screwed over the us for it's own
IRANIAN REGIME HAS ALWAYS TOLD ITS PROXIES (HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH, HOUTHIS) TO BOMB ISRAEL AND ISRAEL HAS A RIGHT TO PROTECT THEMSELVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sure they do, just not with American $ or weapons, or young men and women.
