Iran-US-Israel War Live News Updates: The US has extended the Israel–Lebanon ceasefire while maintaining pressure on Iran, as indirect talks move to Pakistan and tensions remain elevated on the ground.

Iran-US-Israel War LIVE Updates: The United States has extended the Israel–Lebanon ceasefire by three weeks after talks at the White House, even as it maintains pressure on Iran to present a concrete peace proposal. President Donald Trump said Washington would continue its naval blockade until Tehran comes forward with terms acceptable to the US.

Diplomatic efforts are moving to indirect talks in Pakistan, where US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected to engage with Iranian representatives through intermediaries. Iran has ruled out direct negotiations, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirming that communication will be routed via Pakistani officials.

On the ground, the situation remains volatile. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said forces have “full freedom of action” in Lebanon, with military operations continuing despite the ceasefire extension, highlighting the fragile nature of the truce.
