US-Israel Iran War Live Updates

Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has alleged that several key provisions of the country’s 10-point plan to end the conflict have been disregarded prior to the commencement of negotiations. This includes a purported agreement between Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Iranian officials that the ceasefire would extend to Lebanon, as well as an incident involving an unauthorized drone entering Iranian airspace, which Ghalibaf described as a blatant infringement of the terms. Furthermore, Iran’s right to enrichment was also a component of the 10-point plan. In light of these developments, Ghalibaf has expressed skepticism about the feasibility of negotiations, arguing that the foundation for a workable agreement has been compromised even before talks began.

Iranian state media outlet IRNA is reporting that the distinct rumble of air defence systems can be heard in Tehran and parts of Alborz province, as unidentified drones are reportedly being intercepted by Iranian air defences.

Amidst international focus on the US-Iran ceasefire and Israel’s military operations in Lebanon, the Israeli military has persisted in its assault on Palestinian targets in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

A recent Israeli airstrike in Gaza City has resulted in the tragic death of Al Jazeera correspondent Mohammed Wishah, an incident we’ve been closely monitoring. Here’s a summary of the key developments unfolding today:

According to White House officials, a high-level US delegation consisting of Vice President JD Vance and key Trump-era advisors Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff will be participating in diplomatic discussions in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan.

Iran’s top diplomat has issued a stark ultimatum to the US, stating that it must decide between a ceasefire and continued conflict through Israel, as the world watches with bated breath.

Hamas has denounced the brutal slaying of Al Jazeera journalist Mohammed Wishah as part of a systematic campaign to silence Palestinian voices in the Gaza Strip, adding to a long-standing list of atrocities targeting journalists in the besieged territory.
According to Hamas, Israel’s relentless assault on Wishah and other Palestinian journalists is a desperate attempt to conceal the truth about the atrocities unfolding in Gaza, effectively gagging the media and stifling the dissemination of crucial information.
In a scathing statement, Hamas challenged international and human rights organizations to prove their credibility by taking decisive action to hold Israel accountable for its egregious crimes against the Palestinian people, and to put an end to the occupation’s relentless persecution.

Oman’s Transport Minister has firmly stated that the country will not impose transit fees on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, citing the nation’s adherence to international maritime agreements that explicitly prohibit such charges. The minister made this announcement during a session of the Shura Council, Oman’s elected lower house of parliament.

The minister acknowledged that a discrepancy exists in international maritime law due to the fact that several key nations, including Iran and the United States, have not ratified the agreements. This has created a void in the legal framework, the minister noted. However, diplomatic efforts are underway to address this issue, with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs leading the discussion. The minister expressed optimism that a positive outcome can be achieved, benefiting not only Oman but also its GCC state counterparts and Iran.

In a scathing statement, President Joseph Aoun denounced the Israeli attacks that have left a trail of devastation across Lebanon, resulting in the loss of hundreds of lives and countless injuries. These brutal assaults, he said, have further entrenched Israel’s reputation for flouting international norms and disregarding all agreements and commitments.

According to Lebanon’s Health Ministry, a devastating toll has been reported, with at least 89 fatalities and over 700 casualties, as Israel’s military operations unfold across the country, with Al Jazeera receiving the latest updates.
