The Heat: Middle East Conflict | US-Iran talks deadlocked
Major challenges to a peace agreement between Iran and the United States remain, including control over the critical Strait of Hormuz, sanctions and reparations. Iran is also seeking guarantees against future aggression. Meanwhile, the crisis in Lebanon also continues, with more Israeli assaults. According to Lebanon's Health Ministry, more than 3,400 people have been killed in the recent hostilities. #heat #trump #war #iran #tehran #israel #lebanon #hezbollah #worldnow
