Iran has confirmed the cancellation of scheduled nuclear talks with the United States in Oman, citing "barbarous" Israeli attacks and the US's alleged complicity. Tehran has deemed further dialogue meaningless under current circumstances. The IRGC threatened a total halt to US-Iran negotiations and vowed a stronger response to future US attacks after drone strikes and subsequent military actions in the Strait of Hormuz region. The IRGC accused the US of violating a memorandum of understanding. 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, following Iran's missile launches at US bases in retaliation for US strikes.
Despite these escalations, the United States and Iran have reportedly 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. In Lebanon, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri stated that a trilateral framework agreement between Lebanon, Israel, and the US will not pass in its current form. This comes amid discussions between Iran and Lebanon 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 stated objectives have shifted and goals remain unmet. The conflict's aims, according to Sherrill, included eliminating Iran's missile program, ending its nuclear program, regime change, and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, none of which she believes have been accomplished.
Separately, Qatar's interior ministry reported a Qatari national died from shrapnel injuries sustained during regional military operations after a missing vessel was found. Another individual was injured.
