Iran live updates: US-Iran talks ongoing, Israel advances in Lebanon
Several weeks of peace talks are yet to produce a resolution to the conflict.
President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.
Following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire, initial U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan in April failed to reach a peace deal.
Trump later announced the open-ended extension of the ceasefire and the continuation of a U.S. blockade until negotiations are concluded "one way or the other."

Trump posts AI image of US drone destroying Iranian ships after announcing 'agreement' with Iran
After announcing Saturday on his social media platform that "An Agreement has been largely negotiated" between the U.S. and Iran, President Donald Trump Sunday morning posted an AI-generated image of a drone aircraft with a U.S. flag on it launching an attack on two Iranian-flagged ships, with the image caption "Adios."
The image features smoke and flames billowing out of the Iranian ships, with bodies ejected from the vessels and falling into the ocean.
Trump said in his online post Saturday that the framework of the proposed deal is "subject to finalization" between the parties involved.
Iran has not yet signed on or publicly commented on the proposal.
Overnight, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said "significant progress" had been made in discussions with Iran. He added that that the administration has worked with Gulf regional partners over the last 48 hours on a possible framework aimed at keeping international waterways open and addressing concerns surrounding Iran's nuclear ambitions.
