Iran's foreign minister said Israel must withdraw from Lebanon for the U.S.-Iran war deal to succeed, a condition Israel has rejected. - The deal, brokered by Pakistan, includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz and releasing Iranian funds.

- Disagreements over Israel's role and Iran's nuclear program cast doubt on the agreement's future. - G7 leaders seek to ease economic fallout from the conflict.

The unresolved issues threaten the fragile ceasefire and could lead to resumed hostilities.
