Iran International reports Masoud Pezeshkian told Mojtaba Khamenei that key decisions have shifted to an IRGC faction, exposing a reported rift at the top of the regime

Mohammad Qalibaf, who is leading Iran’s delegation in talks with the U.S., made the remarks in response to questions from reporters in Iran. According to a report in Iran, there is opposition within the regime to discussing the nuclear issue.

A ballistic missile launched from Iran was intercepted near Kuwait, which condemned the attack. U.S. Central Command also confirmed that Iranian drones were launched toward a U.S. military vessel. The hostile aircraft were intercepted.

The United States carried out overnight strikes on a military site in Iran that it said posed a threat to American forces and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Hours later, sirens sounded in Kuwait following a missile and drone attack. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said: We struck a U.S. base in response to the attacks in Iran.

Iranian media reported that a preliminary agreement has been reached with the U.S. It reportedly includes a withdrawal of American forces from the Arabian Sea and reopening the Strait of Hormuz to shipping under joint Iranian-Omani supervision. The White House responded: “A complete fabrication.”

Israel’s Police Internal Investigations Department says it questioned an officer serving in Lahav 433 on suspicion of maintaining contact with an Iranian intelligence agent. He was released under restrictive conditions.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir spoke at the ceremony welcoming the strategic refueling aircraft "Gideon" to Nevatim Airbase, the first of six purchased in the U.S., and addressed the Iranian front: "The evil structure of the ayatollah regime has been significantly cracked."

Iran’s regime released a statement in the name of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. Tehran is demanding guarantees, including control over the Strait of Hormuz, as a condition for moving forward in negotiations. President Donald Trump is convening a special Cabinet security meeting today.

Iranian leader Mojtaba Khamenei sent a message to the Gulf states, warning that "Israel is approaching the final stages of its miserable life." Referring to the American strike overnight, he said: "We reserve the right to respond to any violation of the ceasefire."

A new State Comptroller report exposes serious failures in the cyber defenses of Israel’s government and emergency agencies. The findings raise real concern about leaks of sensitive information and damage to the functioning of critical systems.

The U.S. military said it destroyed two Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps boats in the Strait of Hormuz and struck an air defense site in Bandar Abbas. Washington stressed the action was self-defense. President Donald Trump said overnight that Iran’s enriched uranium would be transferred to the United States immediately for destruction.

An Iranian delegation led by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf spent the day in Qatar. Arab media reported that Iran is willing to transfer its enriched uranium to China, but the U.S. is refusing.

As the possibility of a deal with the United States appears to be growing, an American report reveals how the communication restrictions surrounding Mojtaba Khamenei are affecting decision-making in Iran and delaying contacts with Washington.

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."

An American report says Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was identified as a candidate to replace Iran’s leadership if the regime fell. But the plan reportedly unraveled on the very first day of the war, after he was injured in a strike.

U.S. officials are warning that Iran used the ceasefire to accelerate its military recovery, including rebuilding dozens of ballistic missile sites. In Washington, officials believe President Donald Trump’s announcement that he is delaying a possible strike may itself be part of a strategic deception.

A new Amnesty International report points to a sharp global rise in executions during 2025, with Iran driving the increase. The group warns that the death penalty is increasingly being used as a tool of political repression.

Pakistan reportedly passed a new Iranian proposal to the U.S. aimed at advancing an agreement between Tehran and Washington. According to the report, Iran is committing not to produce nuclear weapons. The American president is expected to discuss the issue with the security cabinet.
