Trump extends Iran ceasefire, delays talks

Diplomatic efforts in Washington took an unexpected turn Tuesday as planned peace talks between the United States and Iran were postponed at the last minute. US Vice President JD Vance had been scheduled to travel to Islamabad for negotiations, but the trip was ultimately shelved. Instead, President Donald Trump announced an extension of the ceasefire with Iran, which had been due to expire on Wednesday evening. The move, he said, was intended to give Tehran more time to present a “unified proposal” aimed at ending the conflict. The decision marks the second time in recent weeks that Trump has stepped back from escalating tensions, opting instead to prolong negotiations as the war approaches its second month. Uncertainty surrounded the planned talks throughout the day. The visit by Vance was never formally confirmed, and Iran had not publicly committed to participating. […]

Qatar rejects Iran’s missile strike explanation

Qatar has firmly rejected Iran’s explanation for recent missile strikes on its territory, insisting that the attacks hit civilian areas and key infrastructure, not just American interests as Tehran claims.

Trump gives Iran 10 days to agree deal or face possible strike

United States President Donald Trump says the world will know within about 10 days whether his administration reaches a new deal with Iran or decides to launch military action. He warned that if diplomacy fails, Washington is prepared to respond with force.

The comments come as the United States continues a major military build up around Iran, moving additional warships, aircraft and troops into the region. American officials say the deployments are meant to deter Tehran and protect US personnel and allies. Iran has repeatedly denied seeking nuclear weapons and insists its programme is for peaceful […]

Russia says Iran uranium offer still open

Russia says its offer to take Iran’s enriched uranium abroad as part of a wider deal to ease United States concerns is still available.​ Foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters in Moscow that Russia had previously proposed exporting Iran’s enriched uranium reserves to Russian territory. She said this initiative remains on the table but that it is for Iran to decide whether to accept it.​ Zakharova stressed that only Iran has the right to decide what to do with its uranium stockpile. She added that Tehran alone can choose whether to send the material abroad and, if so, to which country.​ The proposal is part of broader diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions over Iran’s nuclear programme and address Washington’s concerns about the level and volume of uranium enrichment. No decision by Iran on the renewed offer has been announced.

Turkey opposes military operations against Iran

Turkey says it is against any military operation against Iran, warning that foreign intervention would only deepen crises in the country and across the Middle East. Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told journalists in Istanbul that Iran’s internal problems must be resolved by Iranians themselves, not imposed from outside.​ Fidan said Ankara does not want instability in neighbouring Iran, even though it recognises there are serious issues within Iranian society and government.
