Gregg Carlstrom, Middle East Correspondent for The Economist, discusses the latest from the region as American and Iranian negotiators agree a framework deal which could extend their ceasefire.

A vote in the House of Representatives was heading towards a resolution that would require President Donald Trump to come to Congress for formal approval for his war in the Middle East. But, the Speaker of the House pulled the vote as it became clear the Republicans were going to lose it. Although it was unlikely that if the vote had gone through that anything would have resulted, yet US and Middle East correspondent Gordon Robison says this shows falling support for the war. "The fact that the vote was going to pass in the House indicates that support for the war is slipping and slipping very dramatically," he told Heather du Plessis-Allan. "So it doesn't change anything in the short run, but as we approach elections in November, it indicates that the politics around the war are changing very quickly."

President Donald Trump has warned Iran the "clock is ticking" as talks to bring their war to an end have stalled. "They better get moving, FAST, or there won't be anything left of them," he wrote on his Truth Social platform. "TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!”There are multiple thorny issues to be resolved between the US and Iran, but one of them concerns another country altogether: Lebanon. Iran has reportedly insisted on an end to the war in Lebanon before talks can continue with the US. A ceasefire in Lebanon was announced back in April, but Israel and Hezbollah have continued to exchange fire since then and hundreds have been killed. Hugo Bachega, Middle East Correspondent, discusses why the war in Lebanon is so hard to end, and what that means for the chances of a deal between the US and Iran.Producer: Viv Jones and Aron KellerExecutive producer: Bridget Harney Sound engineer: Travis EvansSenior news editor: China CollinsPhoto: Smoke rises following an Israeli strike in Choukine, Lebanon (Reuters)

Gregg Carlstrom, Middle East Correspondent for The Economist, discusses US blockades of Iranian ports.

A warning Iran has more ways to inflict economic pain if war resumes with the US, other than in the Strait of Hormuz. Donald Trump's threatening a navy blockade of the shipping lane from 2am NZT after talks in Pakistan have brought no deal. Iran says military vessels approaching the Strait will be dealt with severely. Reuters Middle East correspondent Alexander Cornwell says UAE and Saudi Arabian oil terminals could be at risk. "The Iranians have proven that they have the capability of hitting both of these sites - and there is also the question of Yemen's Houthis and whether they will try, once again, to close or restrict the Red Sea."

Israel's attacks on Lebanon may be a sticking point in ceasefire negotiations between Iran and the United States. More 300 people were killed and over 1000 injured in Israel's strikes on Lebanon yesterday, with Israel claiming the conflict there wasn't covered by the ceasefire agreement. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's since ordered his Cabinet to open direct talks with Lebanon to establish "peace relations", but has rejected any reports of a ceasefire. The Economist's Middle East correspondent Gregg Carlstrom told Mike Hosking the strikes won't stop entirely, but we may not see the same level as before. He says that if Israel tones down their attacks, it will hopefully take away the threat to the broader ceasefire in the region. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gregg Carlstrom, Middle East Correspondent for The Economist, discusses the ceasefire announcement in the US/Iran war.

It remains an open question if Iran will continue to toll ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, with moves to reopen the critical shipping lane. Iran and the US have accepted Pakistan's proposal to pause fighting two weeks. Israel says it supports suspending strikes on Iran - but not on Lebanon. Middle East correspondent Gordon Robison says Iran's made huge profits tolling the few ships it's let through the Strait since the war began. "The ship owners don't care much about paying the tolls, as long as they can get out. What we can all hope is that the American administration decides to look the other way, at least for now."

Iran may be overstating its military capabilities in the wake of US and Israeli attacks. Coordinated strikes have killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and multiple senior officials, resulting in Iran launching counter strikes across the Middle East. Iran officials say almost 150 people have been killed from a strike on a girls school. The Iranian President has appeared on state television claiming its armed forces are crushing enemy bases.
