But even as Israel and the United States paused their attacks on Iran,
Israel escalated its parallel war in Lebanon, launching what it described as its biggest strikes yet, sending huge columns of smoke above Beirut as buildings crumpled.
Lebanon's health minister said hundreds had been wounded. Residents said the Israeli strikes had come without the usual warnings for civilians to evacuate.
Long after the ceasefire was meant to take effect, Kuwait, the UAE and Bahrain all reported fresh Iranian missile and drone strikes, several of which targeted oil, power and desalination infrastructure vital to the region.
An oil industry source said Saudi Arabia's huge east-west pipeline to the Red Sea had been hit, and damage was being assessed. The pipeline is the main route by which some oil, at least, has been able to bypass the blockaded strait.
The Strait of Hormuz remained shut. A senior Iranian official involved in the discussions told Reuters Tehran could open it on Thursday or Friday ahead of peace talks.
But any opening would be conditional on a framework for the ceasefire being agreed, and be "limited" - with ships still requiring Iran's permission to pass.
