Israel and Lebanon agree to renew their ceasefire after talks at US State Department
Iran has been insisting that hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon must also end before a deal can be reached with the US
Earlier on Wednesday, the US military carried out strikes on Iran's Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz "in response to attempted attacks by Iran"
In response, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards said they fired at Kuwait's international airport in an attack which killed one and injured at least 63 others
Despite the strikes, Donald Trump says talks with Iran are going "very well" and that a deal could be sealed "over the weekend"
Iran, however, says "no tangible progress" has been made in negotiations with the US
