Beirut comes under IDF fire shortly after the US President announces a ceasefire with Iran, as Israel refuses to cease its offensive in Lebanon. The RT team is witness to the attacks. Iranians celebrate what Tehran is calling a victory over the US - with the announcement of a two-week ceasefire and talks slated to kick off in Islamabad on Friday. Donald Trump also claims the win saying he can work with conditions Iran has laid out - even if a majority of them cross Washington’s red lines. The Pentagon chief praises US obstruction of the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran and later in the programme we compare the old agreement with the new.
