Iran’s top negotiator has said that the Israeli attacks in Beirut shows “the US either lacks the will to fulfill its commitments or the ability to do so”.

The peace deal is now in jeopardy, after both US and Iran signalled that they were in the final stages of finalising negotiations.

Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf said: “The Zionists' incursion into Dahiyeh has once again shown that America either lacks the will to fulfill its commitments or the ability to do so. By giving the green light to the regime, you cannot gain concessions.

“The game of bad cop and good cop is outdated. If you lack the will and ability to fulfill your commitments, speaking of continuing the path is not possible.”

The Israeli military ⁠attacked on Sunday Hezbollah targets in ⁠Beirut's ​southern ⁠suburbs, the group's ⁠stronghold known ​as ⁠Dahiyeh, according ‌to a joint statement ‌by Prime Minister ‌Benjamin Netanyahu ⁠and Defense Minister Israel Katz.

The attack came in response to ‌Hezbollah's ​firing ‌into Israeli territory, ⁠the ⁠statement said.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Friday the U.S. and Iran agreed to wording of an agreement aimed at ending their war in the Middle East and that mediators were working with both sides to finalize a deal.

However, Tehran has cast doubt over the timing of the signing. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei, speaking before Trump's post, had cautioned against commenting on the timing of the signing but was quoted by state media saying it could happen "in the coming days".

Previous declarations of an imminent breakthrough failed to materialize.

The Israeli military says it has struck Hezbollah infrastructure in the southern suburbs of Beirut, in a move that could jeopardise Donald Trump’s peace deal with Iran.

A "precise strike" was conducted on a command centre used by the terrorist group, the IDF says.

Its statement adds: "Prior to the strike, steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians, including the use of precise munitions and aerial surveillance."

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attack was in response to Hezbollah firing into Israeli territory.

President Donald Trump is set to meet with Middle Eastern leaders at the G7 summit in France next week, senior US officials said Saturday, and he is expected to speak with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Trump is scheduled to travel to Evian, France, for the G7 summit early Monday after attending UFC Freedom 250, a mixed martial arts event at the White House, on Sunday.

He will speak to a number of European leaders who he’s squabbled with over trade, tariffs, Ukraine and NATO since his return to the White House early in 2025.

Trump will meet separately with the leaders of Egypt, Qatar, United Arab Emirate, France and India at the summit that starts Monday.

A senior Iranian ​official told Reuters a final draft of the memorandum of understanding with the U.S. covered a range of issues, from Tehran’s nuclear work to reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

Other details include:

• The U.S. ​agrees ⁠not to impose any new ‌sanctions on Iran until a final deal is reached.
• Following a final agreement, all U.S. and U.N. sanctions on Iran would be ‌lifted according to an agreed timetable.
• The ‌U.S. will waive oil sanctions on Iran for a specified period, allowing Tehran to sell oil and receive revenue.
• The U.S. agrees to release $25 billion of ⁠Iran’s frozen assets, including via direct cash transfers, cooperation among regional countries, and financial credit lines.
• Washington, in coordination with its regional allies, would prepare a reconstruction and development plan for Iran, to be negotiated and agreed with Tehran within 60 days.

The Israeli military said on Sunday ⁠that Hezbollah launched three projectiles towards ⁠northern ​Israeli communities ⁠in what it ⁠described as ​a ⁠blatant ceasefire violation.

The ‌projectiles fell near the ‌communities of ‌Shomera and Shlomi, the ⁠military added, saying this is in addition to two projectiles that crossed ‌into the ​territory ‌over ⁠the weekend.

A senior Iranian official has said that under the draft peace deal, Tehran would agree to neither produce nor acquire nuclear weapons.

They added that the US would agree to allow Iran to dilute the highly enriched uranium stockpile inside the country, with the mechanism to be discussed in the next 60 days.

Iran would immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz to all commercial vessels, while the US will lift the naval blockade.

Iran's nuclear program would ​be addressed during a 60-day period of talks.

A US official said the agreement ‌would ultimately lead to the dismantling of Iran’s nuclear program, with its stockpile ​of highly enriched uranium to be destroyed and removed.

Foreign Minister Araqchi has said Iran's preferred position is that its enriched uranium should be diluted and kept in the country.
