The attitude now, not just from the president, but from the defence secretary, Pete Hegseth,

appears to be, let's just stand back a little bit, suggest that we have some time and not be rushed into a deal.

But this is a country where people are becoming increasingly frustrated, are being affected increasingly by the high fuel prices and how it's affecting people's everyday lives.

So there is the potential to put President Trump under greater political pressure.

President Trump says that time is on his side and that the clock is ticking for the Iranians.

But next Saturday, of course, is 60 days since the start of the war and he has to go to Congress for approval.

Yes, there is a new deadline there.

And I think as the days and weeks go by, this is one reason why the pressure is increasing on this president, not just congressional approval.

but the mood in the country.

Remember, this is a president who promised that he wouldn't get into these protracted overseas wars situations, which is what this is beginning to look like with no end in sight.

So I think as far as Mr. Trump is concerned, there is pressure all around.

And to say that all the cards are on his side might be somewhat simplistic when you consider the complex issues that are at stake here.

Peter Bowes.

Soon after President Trump announced that his envoys wouldn't fly to Pakistan, the other crucial player in all of this, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, ordered the Israeli army to vigorously attack what he said were Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon.

Attacks followed almost immediately.

Buildings that Israel said were used by the Iranian-backed armed group came under fire.

All this just days after Israeli and Lebanese diplomats in Washington agreed a three-week extension to a ceasefire.

I asked our Middle East analyst Sebastian Usher if Mr Netanyahu had put the ceasefire in jeopardy.

So does this mean the ceasefire is now effectively over?

Is the timing of this statement significant, just after the apparent breakdown of talks between the US and Iran?
