U.S. President Donald Trump said late on June 8 that the United States was in the "final throes" of a deal with Iran that could be signed within a few days, Al Jazeera reported on June 9. Separately, Iran's ambassador to the United Nations said the United States and Iran were continuing to discuss the memorandum of understanding through Pakistani mediators, though the draft text has not yet been finalized.

Israel struck Hezbollah targets in a Beirut suburb on June 7 despite the Lebanon-Israel ceasefire. Iran retaliated by launching ballistic missiles toward Israel the same day, triggering Israeli counterattacks. The exchange of fire ceased on June 8, but Israel struck Tyre, Lebanon, on June 9, killing at least nine people, despite Iran's warning against such operations. The attacks occurred days after Trump reportedly told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the United States could lead strikes against Iran if it did not secure a deal in the coming days.
