The army on Monday urged displaced residents to delay their return to southern border villages, hours after an agreement was announced between Washington and Tehran to end the Middle East war, including in Lebanon.

President Joseph Aoun on Monday expressed hope that a deal between Washington and Tehran to end the Middle East war would put a "definitive end" to the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, a Hezbollah ally who acts as an intermediary between the group and the U.S., praised Monday an agreement between the United States and Iran to end the Middle East war on all fronts.
