Iran has said that the ceasefire covered attacks on Lebanon, whereas the U.S. and Israel have said Lebanon was not included. Israel is currently bombing Lebanon where Iran backed Hezbollah is based.

As you're not sun-bored, Artemis II are making their way back to Earth, their space capsule is scheduled to splash down off the coast of California tonight. Central Florida Public Media's Brennan Burn reports the return ends in nearly 10-day mission that took the crew around the moon and back. Returning from space is risky.
This spacecraft will reach speeds up to 25,000 miles per hour and could experience temperatures of up to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit once it hits the atmosphere. It will take 13 minutes for the capsule to splash down under canopy of parachutes. A lot has to go right to return them safely, says Jeff Radigan, the Artemis II lead flight director.
Starting with their initial approach. "Let's not beat around the bush. We have to hit that angle correctly. Otherwise, we're not going to have a successful entry." During the return mission control, we'll lose contact with spacecraft around 6 minutes.
The mission marks the first lunar journey for humans in more than 50 years, sending the crew farther into space than ever before. For NPR News, I'm Brendan Burn in Orlando.
