• The US and Iran have agreed a framework deal to end the war, which mediator Pakistan says will be signed on Friday in Switzerland

• In Iran, the deputy foreign minister says on state TV that a deal has been reached while the country’s top military command hails it as a victory for Tehran

• The full text is yet to be published, but our correspondent says: The deal’s priority is to extend the 8 April ceasefire in time and scope – another 60 days pledging no hostilities while both sides commit to talks

• Pakistan, which announced late on Sunday that the agreement had been made, says “military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon” will end – Israel is yet to comment
