Live Updates: Iran accuses U.S. of violating ceasefire deal framework as Israeli attacks on Lebanon continue

What to know about the Iran war today:

  • Iran is accusing Israel of violating the conditional ceasefire announced by President Trump by continuing its war with Hezbollah in Lebanon. Iran also accused the U.S. of violating multiple clauses of the deal framework. 
  • Iranian media outlets say Tehran is suspending tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and considering pulling out of the deal with Washington over Israel's actions in Lebanon. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Trump is aware of reports saying the strait has been closed, but said the reports "are false."    
  • There were new attacks on America's Persian Gulf allies early Wednesday after the ceasefire announcement, and then reports of explosions on two Iranian islands in the Gulf.
  • Energy and stock markets embraced the ceasefire news, with oil still trading well above pre-war levels but dropping below $100 a barrel. Stock markets in Asia and Europe soared and U.S. futures were up significantly.
