President Donald Trump said talks with Iran are "going well." He argued that Arab states should join the agreement and turn a deal with Iran into what he called an "unprecedented global coalition."

Contacts between the United States and Iran are moving toward a draft agreement, but major disputes remain unresolved. In Tehran, officials insist the nuclear issue is not part of the initial understandings. A senior Israeli official said, “Trump made clear that he will stand firm in the negotiations on his consistent demand to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program.”

Trump says an agreement is “largely negotiated,” but reported terms on Hormuz, sanctions relief and delayed nuclear talks are raising concern in Israel and among Republicans

Amid reports that the U.S. and Israel could resume strikes on Iran, President Donald Trump spoke with reporters. Asked whether Israel is pushing for an attack, he replied: "Bibi will do what I tell him."

Amid the possibility of renewed escalation with Iran, public threats are coming from Tehran and Sana'a. President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held an overnight phone call described as "lengthy and dramatic."

President Donald Trump said he is giving Iran a matter of days to reach an agreement, saying the deadline is Sunday. Iran also confirmed a report that it is demanding compensation for damage caused during the war.

The U.S. rejected Iran’s proposal to end the war. President Donald Trump is convening a meeting with top security officials while also launching a broadside against parts of the American media.

A U.S. special operations force, working with the Nigerian military, killed Abu Bilal Abu-Minuki, the deputy leader of ISIS worldwide. He was killed in a hideout after fleeing the Iraq-Syria region.

In a post on X, Iranian parliament spokesman Ebrahim Rezaei warned the U.S. and Israel, saying lawmakers may consider 90% enrichment if Iran is attacked again. U.S. and Israeli intelligence agree: Tehran’s nuclear program won’t be curbed unless its enriched-uranium stockpile is removed or destroyed.

U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters the naval blockade on Iran will continue and vowed to stop Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. He predicted Iran’s economy would collapse and said the U.S. expects to receive 60% enriched uranium; Pete Hegseth said escalation plans are ready, while Iran warned it could go to 90% enrichment.

President Trump orders the Justice Department to subpoena journalists' communications after sensitive details from the Iran campaign hit the press. "Hand over the information or go to jail," he warns. The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times are in the crosshairs.

With trade tensions in the backdrop, Trump heads into a meeting with Xi aiming to extend a minerals deal and steady U.S.–China ties. Washington may also ask Beijing to push Tehran toward a nuclear agreement, while Taiwan fears being left exposed.

In a Fox News interview Monday (Israel time), he said U.S. ship escorts would be "just a small part" of a broader military move, predicted Tehran will "fold," urged talks until a deal is reached, and rejected Iran’s latest proposal.

At the start of a security cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he speaks with President Donald Trump "almost daily" and that Israel and the United States are fully aligned on Iran, including removing all enriched material from Iran and dismantling its enrichment capabilities. He added that Israel is prepared for any scenario.

An Israeli political source responded to reports of progress between the U.S. and Iran, stressing: "It was made clear to us from the conversations that President Trump is standing by his red lines, first and foremost the removal of the nuclear material." He said Netanyahu is in near-daily contact with Trump.
