Final negotiations on 'Peace' are proceeding, subject to ignorance or stupidity getting in its way."Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs told CNBC this morning that it has ceased its strikes against Israel but warned that it would resume hostilities if Israel continues operations in Lebanon.Sunday marked the 100th day since the conflict began in February.

Delta's new president has his eye on the Pacific. Peter Carter, who was promoted in March, told CNBC that Delta wants to challenge United's leadership on trans-Pacific flights and eventually become the leading global carrier — what he called "a pretty audacious goal."
Delta posted $2.79 billion in trans-Pacific net profit last year, trailing United's approximately $6.89 billion in the same period. As CNBC's Leslie Josephs notes, trans-Pacific flights tend to be a particularly profitable part of the industry, and both airlines are adding new routes.

4. International brew

Italian coffee giant Lavazza is launching its espresso tablets in the U.S. The tabs, known as Tablì, are made of compressed ground coffee and can only be used with a Lavazza Tablì coffee machine.
As CNBC's Amelia Lucas notes, Lavazza's entry to the U.S. market could threaten Keurig Dr Pepper's leadership in the single-serve coffee category. Lavazza said its North American revenue jumped nearly 27% last year, but it still has a long way to go before it catches up to Keurig.
Lavazza CEO Antonio Baravalle told CNBC that the company is hoping sustainability is still priority for many coffee drinkers. Its Tablì are made without any coating, binder or gelatin.

"Backrooms," a low-budget horror film directed by a YouTube creator, is a breakout hit. Hollywood is now wondering how to replicate its success.
The film has become the highest-grossing domestic flick ever for A24, and it did so without utilizing the industry's current playbook for filmmaking which focuses on sequels and intellectual property.
Still, "Backrooms" producer Peter Chernin told CNBC that studios shouldn't race to sign YouTube creators. "It's no different than making sequels. It's jumping on an existing bandwagon," he said.
