An Iranian official tells the Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Mayadeen news outlet that a ceasefire will take effect in Lebanon starting tonight.
According to the official, the move comes after pressure from Iran, and the ceasefire will last for one week, until the end of the two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran.
There is no official confirmation from Israel, Lebanon or the US.
