Yesterday's key developments:

  • Iran's military threatened on Tuesday to respond to Israel after strikes in southern Lebanon killed four people despite a tentative peave deal between Tehran and Washington to end the war in the Middle East, which includes a cessation of hostilities in Lebanon.
  • President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he was willing to send his interim deal with Iran to the US Congress for review as lawmakers, including many of his fellow Republicans, said they were largely in the dark about the pact.
  • A $300 billion private fund designed to trigger investment into Iran is outlined in the US-Iran framework agreement and more than half that sum has already been committed, a source with direct knowledge of the deal told Reuters.
