Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it targeted locations in the region where US forces are deployed in retaliation for the Trump administration’s latest attack. 
After US-brokered talks, Israel and Lebanon have signed a framework agreement that Washington says aims to end Israel’s cycle of endless conflict. 
Lebanon group Hezbollah has rejected the deal, with one lawmaker saying it will only serve the interests of Israel.
