Iran “considers crossing the red lines in Lebanon and Gaza to mean direct war.”
President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.
Following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire, initial U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan in April failed to reach a peace deal.
Trump later announced the open-ended extension of the ceasefire and the continuation of a U.S. blockade until negotiations are concluded "one way or the other."
Israeli and Hezbollah forces continued their attacks on Tuesday despite President Donald Trump's claim that the warring sides had "stopped shooting each other" after his intervention to prevent escalation on Monday.
Lebanon's state-run news agency, NNA, reported three Israeli strikes in separate areas in southern Lebanon. One person was killed, NNA reported. ABC News has contacted the Israel Defense Forces to request comment.
The Lebanese Armed Forces, meanwhile, said two of its soldiers were wounded by an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon.
IDF spokesperson Avichay Adraee also issued new evacuation warnings for residents of the southern Lebanese city of Nabatiyeh, warning of planned "forceful action" against alleged Hezbollah targets in the area.
The IDF said in posts to X on Tuesday morning that air alert sirens sounded due to rocket and drone attacks toward northern Israel.
Hezbollah also claimed a missile attack on an Israeli tank in Hadatha in southern Lebanon in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
President Donald Trump told ABC News he thinks he will have an agreement with Iran to extend the ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz "over the next week."
"Looking good, looking good," he told ABC News' chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl in a telephone conversation on Monday.
"There was a little glitch today, but I turned that one around very quickly, as you probably noticed earlier," Trump said.
The glitch, according to the president, was that the Iranians were upset about Israel's attacks on Lebanon.
"So, I spoke with Hezbollah, and I said no shooting, and I talked to Bibi (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu), and said, no shooting, and they both stopped shooting each other," Trump said.
Trump said a peace agreement with Iran could be "even better than a military victory."
"It's not a simple thing," he said. "You're talking about a real large country — them — very large country making a deal. Tremendous hostility, really."
He continued, "So it's not an easy thing for them. It's actually not easy from our standpoint either. But we're getting what we need to get."
As for when the memorandum of understanding to reopen the strait will be completed and agreed to, Trump said, "I think you're talking about over the next week."
He said he has not agreed to it yet because "I still have to get a few more points."
In a quick about-face, President Donald Trump said in a social media post that talks with Iran are "continuing" at a "rapid pace."
This comes after Iran announced earlier in the day that communications with the U.S. were stopped because of Israel's aggression in Lebanon. Iran has not commented or confirmed whether talks have resumed.
When asked about Iran's decision to cease communications with the U.S., President Donald Trump told CNBC, "I really don't care. I couldn't care less."
The president also reportedly told CNBC that he is "going to ask" Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "what's going on with Lebanon." This comes after Netanyahu called for strikes in Beirut to resume.
