• US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the Iran deal was moving to a second stage, calling the agreement fair and denying reports that Washington would invest money in Iran.
• A new round of talks between Iran and the United States will begin on Friday in Switzerland, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Tuesday, adding that any Israeli attack on Lebanon or continued occupation of Lebanese territory would be viewed by Tehran as a violation of the MOU with US.
