Ceasefire Holds in Iran-Israel Conflict Amid Ongoing Strikes and Diplomatic Talks

A ceasefire has paused full-scale fighting in the Iran-Israel conflict, which began with US-Israeli strikes on February 28, but no final peace agreement has been reached. Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon killed 14 people, the deadliest day since the ceasefire began. Iran seeks sanctions relief and an end to Israeli attacks on Hezbollah, while the US demands limits on Iran's regional proxies. Diplomatic efforts continue, including Iranian talks in Moscow, amid ongoing military warnings and tensions in the region.
