No FIFA plans to replace Iran with Italy at World Cup

FIFA has no plans to replace Iran with Italy at this summer’s World Cup despite a proposal from U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy Paolo Zampolli.​ Speculation over Iran’s participation had grown because of the ongoing war involving the U.S., Israel and Iran, but world football’s governing body has reaffirmed that Iran will take part as scheduled. Zampolli, an Italian‑American and long‑time Trump ally, told the Financial Times he had suggested to both Trump and FIFA president Gianni Infantino that four‑time champions Italy be invited to take Iran’s place at the U.S.‑hosted tournament.​ “I confirm I have suggested to Trump and Infantino that Italy replace Iran at the World Cup,” Zampolli said, describing it as a “dream” to see the Azzurri at a World Cup staged in the United States. Italy failed to qualify for a third straight World Cup […]

Iran tightens grip on Strait of Hormuz as US blocks ships and ceasefire talks stall

Iran has tightened its control over the Strait of Hormuz by seizing two commercial vessels, just as the United States pauses new strikes but keeps a naval blockade in place and peace talks remain in limbo.​ The move came after U.S. President Donald Trump said he was indefinitely suspending renewed military attacks on Iran and extending a shaky ceasefire so Washington could study an Iranian proposal to end the two month old conflict. However, Tehran has not confirmed any formal extension of the truce and has denounced the ongoing blockade of its maritime trade as an act of war.​ Iran’s chief negotiator and parliament speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said a full ceasefire would only be possible if the U.S. lifted its naval blockade and allowed normal traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a key route that previously carried around one […]

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. […]

US upbeat on Iran deal but talks still uncertain as ceasefire deadline looms

The United States remains cautiously optimistic about reaching a new deal with Iran as a two week ceasefire between the two countries nears its end, even though key details of proposed talks in Pakistan are still unsettled. A senior Iranian official told Reuters that Tehran is “positively reviewing” whether to attend planned negotiations in Pakistan, after previously dismissing the idea, but stressed that no final decision has been made. A Pakistani source involved in the process said efforts are underway to restart talks on Wednesday and indicated that U.S. President Donald Trump could join in person or virtually if an agreement comes within reach. According to the Pakistani source, “progress is being made” and discussions are on track, raising hopes that diplomacy can prevent a slide back to open conflict once the ceasefire expires. The truce was agreed after weeks […]

Trump accuses Iran of breaching ceasefire in Strait of Hormuz

US President Donald Trump has accused Iran of violating the two week ceasefire between both countries with fresh attacks in the Strait of Hormuz.​ In a post on his Truth Social platform on Sunday, Trump said US negotiators would return to Pakistan on Monday to resume talks aimed at ending the war with Iran. At the same time, he issued a new threat to destroy every power plant and bridge in Iran if Tehran refuses what he called a reasonable deal.​ Trump wrote that if Iran does not accept the agreement on the table, the United States will knock out all its power plants and bridges, saying they will come down fast and easy. He added that it would be his honour to do what he claimed should have been done by previous US presidents over the last 47 years.​ […]

Iran says final peace deal still distant as Hormuz stays shut

Iran says a final peace agreement with the United States is still far away as the Strait of Hormuz remains closed in the ongoing standoff.​ Parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said in a televised address that there has been some progress in talks with Washington but many gaps and fundamental issues remain unresolved. He stressed that Iran is still far from a final discussion on ending the war launched by the United States and Israel against the country.​ Iran has refused to reopen the vital waterway until the US lifts its blockade of Iranian ports. Ghalibaf warned that if America does not end the blockade, traffic in the Strait of Hormuz will remain limited.​ The comments came after high level talks in Pakistan failed to produce a breakthrough. US President Donald Trump said very good conversations are ongoing but accused […]

Iran shuts Strait of Hormuz again amid war talks

Iran’s military has again declared the Strait of Hormuz closed, only hours after briefly reopening the vital waterway to commercial traffic. The move has renewed uncertainty over efforts to reach a peace deal in the ongoing US Israeli war with Iran. Tehran announced on Friday that the strait which normally carries about one fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments was open following a ceasefire in Lebanon that paused Israel’s war with Hezbollah. That decision sent oil prices sharply lower and raised hopes of easing tensions. However, Iran warned it would shut the strait again as long as the United States maintained a naval blockade of Iranian ports. On Saturday, state TV quoted the country’s military central command as saying control of the strait had returned to its previous status and was under strict management by the armed […]

US says it is optimistic about reaching peace deal with Iran

The United States is exploring a second round of peace talks with Iran in Pakistan and is “optimistic” about reaching a deal to end the ongoing war, US officials have said. A Pakistani delegation has arrived in Tehran with a new message from Washington after US President Donald Trump signalled that negotiations could resume this week, following last weekend’s failed talks in Islamabad. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that any further discussions would “very likely” take place again in Islamabad, adding: “Those discussions are being had, and we feel good about the prospects of a deal.” The renewed diplomatic push comes as Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif intensifies shuttle diplomacy, including a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, to support efforts to end the six‑week conflict involving Iran, Israel and the United States.

Iranian sailors leave Sri Lanka after attack

More than 200 Iranian sailors who had been stranded in Sri Lanka following a naval incident have now returned home after spending over a month in the country. According to Deputy Defence Minister Aruna Jayasekara, a total of 238 sailors were repatriated. This included 32 crew members rescued from the Iris Dena and 206 from the Irins Bushehr. The group departed on Tuesday night after being flown out of Sri Lanka. The incident began on 4 March, when the Iris Dena sank approximately 40 kilometres off Sri Lanka’s southern coast after being struck by a torpedo reportedly launched from a US submarine. The attack resulted in the deaths of 104 sailors. The following day, Sri Lankan authorities took control of the Irins Bushehr after it requested permission to dock due to engine failure. The vessel was allowed into port on […]

China calls US blockade of Iran ports ‘dangerous and irresponsible’

China has condemned the United States over its blockade of Iranian ports, describing Washington’s actions as “dangerous and irresponsible” amid soaring tensions in the Gulf. US President Donald Trump ordered a naval blockade threatening to sink ships entering or leaving Iranian ports after weekend peace talks between Washington and Tehran collapsed. The blockade took effect at 1400 GMT on Monday, despite the two sides having agreed to a fragile two‑week ceasefire just days earlier. Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said the US decision to increase military deployments and enforce a targeted blockade would only heighten tensions and undermine the already fragile ceasefire. He warned that the move further endangers safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil shipments. Iran has effectively closed the strait to most traffic, allowing only vessels serving countries it regards […]
