Israel's June 14 strikes on Beirut breached a ceasefire agreed June 1, now threatening a US-Iran peace framework announced days later. The deal—pairing a 60-day ceasefire with sanctions relief and nuclear talks—hinges on Iran keeping Hezbollah in check. If Israeli action persists during negotiations, Tehran has a rationale to withdraw, collapsing the entire settlement.
