Iran has confirmed the cancellation of scheduled nuclear talks with the United States in Oman, deeming further dialogue meaningless due to "barbarous" Israeli attacks and alleged US complicity. The IRGC threatened a total halt to US-Iran negotiations and vowed a stronger response to future US attacks, accusing the US of violating a memorandum of understanding following drone strikes and subsequent military actions in the Strait of Hormuz region. Iran's top advisor, Ali Akbar Velayati, issued a stern warning to Bahrain, accusing it of supporting US actions and hosting the US Fifth Fleet, after Iran launched missiles at US bases in retaliation for US strikes.
Despite these escalations, reports indicate that the United States and Iran have agreed to pause recent hostilities and renew talks, potentially ending tit-for-tat strikes. Technical negotiations are scheduled to restart, with a meeting planned for Tuesday in Qatar. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi stated Iran has total control of the Strait of Hormuz for 30 days and called on the US to pressure Israel to cease attacks on Lebanon and withdraw from occupied areas. In a separate development, Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri stated that a trilateral framework agreement between Lebanon, Israel, and the US will not be implemented in its current form, deeming it an "agreement of dictates." This discussion occurred as Iran and Lebanon's speakers conferred on ending Israel's war on Lebanon.
New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill questioned the achievements of the Trump administration's war with Iran, stating that declared objectives have shifted and goals remain unmet. Sherrill believes that stated aims, including eliminating Iran's missile program, ending its nuclear program, regime change, and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, have not been accomplished. Separately, Qatar's interior ministry reported that a Qatari national died from shrapnel injuries sustained during regional military operations after a missing vessel was found. Another individual was injured in the incident.
