Middle East crisis live: Iran threatens ‘harsh response’ if Israel fails to cease attacks in Lebanon

The framework peace agreement, to be signed on Friday in Switzerland, includes the lifting of economic sanctions on Iran and decisions on its nuclear program, contingent on the free flow of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and not obtaining a nuclear weapon.
