Iran

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.

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.

During a visit in southern Lebanon, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir toured a Hezbollah tunnel beneath a children's clothing store, highlighted major blows against the group, and said the military has targets ready in Iran as coordination with the U.S. continues.

The UAE has launched a campaign against countries it says aided Iran, starting with Pakistan: withdrawing an Emirati deposit, freezing government-linked accounts in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and ordering thousands of Pakistani workers to leave. Reports also describe new hurdles for Egyptians.

Pakistani officials say a major breakthrough is paving the way for a U.S.-Iran agreement: Tehran would freeze uranium enrichment for 12 years while Washington lifts most economic sanctions.

Two days after launching "Project Freedom" to help ships transit the Gulf safely, the president says the pause comes at Pakistan's request amid "major progress" toward a deal. Iran responds: "The U.S. failed," and Tasnim hails the move as a retreat.

The United Arab Emirates says Iran launched cruise missiles and drones in a third attack within a day. At the White House, Trump said Tehran "knows what not to do" and touted U.S. strength. America’s top general called the current mission defensive "for now," while Iran’s Revolutionary Guards warned ships in the Strait of Hormuz to stick to Iran’s designated corridor.

Despite months of fighting and targeted strikes, Washington says Iran’s nuclear timeline has barely budged. The IAEA warns it can’t track key stockpiles of highly enriched uranium.

Tensions spike in the Persian Gulf after missiles detonate near a U.S. destroyer in the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM chief Brad Cooper says forces responded to Iranian aggression; Tehran vows a "night of rage," and Israel keeps its defenses on high alert.

An Israeli official told CNN the allies are preparing a "short operation" aimed at Iran's energy infrastructure and senior regime figures, as Washington warns Tehran it will face "overwhelming force" if it targets commercial shipping.

With the cease-fire with Iran at risk near the Strait of Hormuz, Israeli and U.S. officials signal rapid-response readiness as Tehran weighs its next moves.

Sirens sounded repeatedly in Dubai after Iran launched missiles and drones. Three civilians were injured. Initial reports said a U.S. base in Ajman was hit. The U.K. reported ship attacks in the Persian Gulf by Revolutionary Guard boats. Iran's foreign minister: "There will be no talks on the nuclear issue".

Narges Mohammadi—the Iranian Nobel Peace Prize laureate and a leading opponent of the ayatollahs' regime—has been arrested, tried, and sentenced to 31 years in prison. Opposition sources say she collapsed, and her condition is described as extremely serious.

Following President Donald Trump’s launch of Operation "Project Freedom" to free ships stuck in the strait, the U.S. military says two U.S.-flagged merchant vessels safely crossed the Strait of Hormuz. Iran warns any entry violates a cease-fire and insists movement now requires its direct approval.

A Reuters report cites internal Hezbollah sources who say the real death toll is far higher than the Health Ministry’s figure, even as battles rage and the group seeks leverage over Iran–U.S. talks.

President Donald Trump announced 'Project Freedom' to free ships stuck in Hormuz. In a post he wrote: 'This is a humanitarian gesture by the United States and Middle Eastern countries, but in particular by Iran.' Tehran responded: 'Only a fool would ignore our warnings.'

Tehran lays out a three-stage plan: mutual U.S.–Iran non-aggression that also covers Iran’s allies and Israel, an international mechanism to prevent renewed fighting, a 15-year pause on enrichment followed by a 3.6% cap under zero stockpiling, and region-wide security talks—while refusing to dismantle nuclear infrastructure or destroy facilities.

Tehran sent Washington a 14-point proposal to end the war, demanding security guarantees, a U.S. troop pullback from neighboring states, an end to the naval blockade, the release of frozen assets, compensation, lifting sanctions, a new mechanism for the Strait of Hormuz, and a halt to fighting on all fronts, including Lebanon. The U.S. floated a two-month cease-fire; Iran pushed to resolve the issues within 30 days. Trump said he’ll review the plan but cast doubt and raised the option of renewed strikes.

Following Friedrich Merz’s criticism of U.S. handling of Iran, the Pentagon says roughly 5,000 troops will leave Germany over six months; an air-defense battalion planned for later this year won’t deploy.

President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s proposal to end the war, saying, "Iran is asking for things I cannot agree to." Tehran responded: "We do not rule out a preemptive strike."
