Yesterday's key developments:

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said early on Monday that the US and Iran have agreed to a memorandum of understanding to be signed in Switzerland on June 19, with both sides declaring "the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon."

• The United States agreed to release $12 billion in frozen assets to Iran before the start of negotiations.

• The Israeli military continued to strike the southern suburbs of Beirut, claiming to have killed a senior Hezbollah militant, earning backlash as the US and Iran worked towards an agreement.
