Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi has reportedly arrived back in Islamabad on Sunday after talks in Muscat, Oman, according to Iranian state media.
Araghchi previously said he had discussed “the latest developments related to the ceasefire" and Tehran’s “views and considerations” in Pakistan on Saturday and his delegation left shortly after meeting mediators.
Iran had insisted that no direct talks with Washington were scheduled.
But earlier today, Mehr news agency reported that Araghchi was expected to return to Islamabad to speak to mediators again before going on to Russia.
President Donald Trump called off a trip for US negotiators to visit Pakistan this weekend, saying it was too far for envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to travel “without a plan”.
Meanwhile, Israel has ordered civilians to evacuate several towns in southern Lebanon despite a three-week ceasefire agreement. Hezbollah and Israel blame each other for violations.

Vance and Trump allies invoke ‘just war theory’ to legitimize Iran action. Experts say it ‘fails every single criteria’
16:30 , Maira ButtTop Republicans have invoked a centuries-old moral doctrine to defend the ongoing war against Iran.
Last week, Vice President JD Vance and House Speaker Mike Johnson — first and second in the presidential line of succession — explicitly cited “just war” theory while speaking about the Middle East conflict.
They wielded the theory as a cudgel to castigate Pope Leo, whose staunch opposition to the weeks-long war has ignited a high-profile clash between the Vatican and the White House.
But, the Republican leaders’ application of the doctrine — which dates back over a thousand years — is fundamentally flawed, according to experts in theology, philosophy and military strategy.

16:00 , Maira ButtMore than 2,500 people have been killed in Israeli strikes on Lebanon, the country’s health ministry confirmed on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Israeli strikes continued as Hezbollah said it would not rely on “failed diplomacy” to resolve the conflict.
Israel has issued an evacuation order for more seven towns outside its occupation of southern Lebanon, which it has dubbed a “buffer zone”.
UK's Starmer and Trump discuss 'urgent need' to restore shipping in Strait of Hormuz
15:30 , Maira ButtUK prime minister Keir Starmer and US president Donald Trump discussed an urgent need to get shipping moving through the Strait of Hormuz during a call on Sunday, according to a Downing Street spokesperson.
“The leaders discussed the urgent need to get shipping moving again in the Strait of Hormuz, given the severe consequences for the global economy and cost of living for people in the UK and globally,” read the statement.
“The prime minister shared the latest progress on his joint initiative with President (Emmanuel) Macron to restore freedom of navigation.”
Pakistan races to save negotiations between US and Iran after Trump keeps envoys home
15:00 , Maira ButtAttempts at ceasefire talks between the United States and Iran fell flat after Tehran’s top diplomat left Pakistan and President Donald Trump's envoys stayed away after he told them not to travel to Islamabad.
The US president indicated the ball was now in Iran’s court.
“If they want to talk, all they have to do is call!!!” Trump said on social media.
The negotiations were meant to follow historic face-to-face talks earlier this month between the U.S., led by Vice President JD Vance, and Iran, led by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.
But Iranian officials have questioned how they can trust the U.S. after its forces started blockading Iranian ports in response to Iran's grip on the Strait of Hormuz.

Breaking: Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi arrives in Islamabad
14:41 , Maira ButtIranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi has arrived in Islamabad on Sunday, according to the country’s state media.
The arrival will spark hopes for a revival of negotiations after Tehran denied direct talks and President Donald Trump cancelled a visit for envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on Saturday.
Iran's Araghchi returning to Islamabad after talks in Muscat
14:30 , Maira ButtIranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi is reportedly on his way back to Islamabad, Pakistan after meeting with Oman’s sultan Haitham bin Tariq on Sunday.
The development was reported by Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency.
Iran caused more extensive damage to US bases than publicly acknowledged, says NBC
14:00 , Maira ButtIranian attacks on US military bases caused far more extensive damage than has been publicly acknowledged, a new report by NBC has suggested.
Three US officials familiar with the damage told the publication that it was extensive and wide-reaching.
Facilities affected by Iranian retaliatory strikes include the headquarters of the US navy in Bahrain, the centre for the navy’s operations in the region, which suffered serious damage while some parts of the building sustained destruction that was likely more repairable.
Bases had been largely cleared of troops leaving them vulnerable to attack.
The American Enterprise Institute found that multiple hangars and warehouses at the Ali Al Salem air base in Kuwait was also hit. The AEI said that Iran hit more than 100 targets across 11 Gulf countries, with estimated damage at around $5bn.
Two air defence systems were also damaged in the region.
Iranian foreign minister says Tehran 'yet to see' if US serious about peace talks
13:30 , Maira ButtIranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi has hailed talks with Pakistani officials as “fruitful” but said he is “yet to see” if the US is equally serious about negotiations.
“Very fruitful visit to Pakistan, whose good offices and brotherly efforts to bring back peace to our region we very much value,” he wrote in a post on X.
“Shared Iran's position concerning workable framework to permanently end the war on Iran. Have yet to see if the US is truly serious about diplomacy.”
Iran's Araghchi discusses efforts to end war and Hormuz security with Oman
13:01 , Maira ButtIran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi held talks in Oman on Sunday and discussed security in the Strait of Hormuz and broader Gulf waters and diplomatic efforts to end the Iran-US conflict, according to an Iranian foreign ministry statement.
In talks in Muscat with Oman's Sultan Haitham bin Tariq al-Said, Araghchi said the US military presence in the Middle East was fuelling insecurity and division and called for a regional security framework free of outside interference.
Is Trump right about Iran’s ‘seriously fractured’ leadership holding up a peace deal?
12:31 , Maira ButtJust as fighting was set to resume on Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced the extension of a 14-day ceasefire at the eleventh hour, saying Iran’s “seriously fractured” leadership was an obstacle to a peace agreement.
Mr Trump said the military would continue a blockade on Iranian ports until Tehran’s “leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal”, following a request from Pakistan.
But after America and Israel have killed several of the Islamic Republic’s senior leadership figures and the new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei yet to be seen in public, it is unclear who is actually in charge in Iran.
The political vacuum left in the wake of the assassinations has been filled by ardent nationalists within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to experts.

'We have all the cards': Trump on why he cancelled envoys trip to Pakistan
11:50 , Maira ButtPresident Donald Trump believes that the US is holding “all the cards” as he explained on Saturday evening, why he decided to stop his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner from visiting Islamabad for talks on Iran.
“You're not making an 18-hour flight to go there, we have all the cards,” Trump said he told the pair.
“They can call us anytime they want, but you're not going to be making any more 18-hour flights to sit around talking about nothing.”
Price hikes due to Iran war will be felt for at least eight months, minister warns
11:35 , Maira ButtPrice hikes as a result of the Iran war will be felt for at least eight months after the conflict ends, a government minister has warned.
Chief Secretary to the prime minister, Darren Jones, warned people will see higher energy, food and flight prices “as a consequence of what Donald Trump has done in the Middle East” and said there will be a “long tail from this”.
The government has stepped up planning for how to offset potential shortages sparked by the conflict, following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping lane crucial for the supply of a fifth of global oil and gas, which sent oil prices soaring.
The prime minister will chair another meeting of the Cabinet committee set up to deal with the fallout on Tuesday, after the so-called Middle East Response Committee met last week.

Why a century-old naval disaster means Trump can’t take the Strait of Hormuz by force
10:46 , Maira ButtWhy has nothing been done to reopen the Strait of Hormuz?
The answer is simple – as his advisers will have told Donald Trump before he attacked Iran, it is almost impossible to clear a passage through a minefield when the shoreline is held by the enemy, without being prepared to take significant casualties. And this, it seems, the US is not prepared to do.
It is one thing to bomb a less technologically sophisticated enemy from the air, but quite another to get involved in a real fight at sea level with an opponent who has been planning this form of asymmetric warfare for a very long time.
History gives a stark lesson on why America needs to tread warily – a page from the First World War.
John Clark, former Royal Naval Reserve officer who commanded various minesweepers and minehunters during his service, reports:

White House Correspondents Dinner shooting not linked to Iran, says Trump
10:21 , Maira ButtPresident Donald Trump has said that a shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington on Saturday is unrelated to the ongoing war in Iran.
“It’s not going to deter me from winning the war in Iran,” he told reporters in the aftermath of the incident.
“I don’t know if that had anything to do with it, I really don’t think so, based on what we know.”
The war in Iran is in a ‘limbo’ phase. Here’s why it could leave the world facing chaos
09:50 , Maira ButtDonald Trump announced late on Tuesday that the US would “hold our attack” on Iran until a deal is made in an astonishing climbdown, after dismissing calls for a ceasefire extension and threatening to blitz civilian infrastructure.
The US president has insisted that he is under “no time pressure” to reach a peace agreement and will prioritise a “good deal for the American people”, but a significant gulf remains between both sides on key issues.
The American navy continues to blockade Iranian ships in the Strait of Hormuz, a painful countermeasure to Iran’s closure of the route that analysts assess to be costing Tehran as much as $435m per day.
Even so, experts say Iran has shown far more tolerance to this kind of pressure than outsiders would like to admit, and Trump will still be influenced by domestic political pressure over rising energy prices.
While Iran’s economy will no doubt be damaged by a protracted war, analysts say the status quo could also end up strengthening the authoritarian regime.

Netanyahu 'shocked' by 'attempted assassination' of Trump
09:00 , Maira ButtIsraeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed his shock at a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday, which saw President Donald Trump and JD Vance escorted out of event by security officials.
“Sara and I were shocked by the attempted assassination of President @realDonaldTrump last night in Washington, DC,” Netanyahu wrote in a post on X.
“We are relieved that the President and the First Lady are safe and strong. We send our wishes for a full and speedy recovery to the wounded police officer and salute the US Secret Service for their swift and decisive action.”
All the alternative routes for Middle East oil and gas to bypass the Strait of Hormuz
08:46 , Maira ButtThe US-Israeli war with Iran has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, with only three vessels passing the waterway in one 24 hour, shipping data showed.
The Strait is considered the world's most important oil chokepoint and had been handling roughly one-fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas supply before the U.S. and Israel's war on Iran began on February 28.
More than a dozen tankers passed through the Strait after Iran briefly declared it open on Friday. But a ceasefire between the US and Iran appeared in jeopardy on Tuesday as Iran vowed to retaliate for the US seizure of one of its vessels and refused to join new peace talks.

Government ramps up planning for possible supply shortages from Iran war
08:15 , Maira ButtThe UK government is escalating its planning to counteract potential shortages stemming from the Iran conflict.
Oil prices have soared since the US-Israel war on Iran began, driven by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz – a key shipping lane that once handled a fifth of global oil and gas.
The Prime Minister will chair another meeting of the Cabinet committee, established to manage the fallout, this Tuesday, following last week's Middle East Response Committee session.
A separate contingency group of ministers, led by Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister Darren Jones, also meets twice weekly.

Authorities identified the man as Amer Ramesh, saying he had been arrested in a counter-terrorism operation in southeastern Iran and charged with armed rebellion, including being involved in bombings and ambushes targeting military personnel.

US intercepts sanctioned merchant vessel in Arabian Sea, Central Command says
06:30 , Shweta SharmaThe US Central Command said it intercepted a merchant vessel attempting to breach the blockade of Iran, in what it described as part of ongoing efforts to curb illicit energy shipments.
The ship, identified as Sevan, was among a 19-vessel “shadow fleet” allegedly transporting Iranian oil and gas products to foreign markets, according to the US military.
Central Command said the vessel was intercepted in the Arabian Sea by a US Navy helicopter operating from the guided-missile destroyer USS Pinckney. The ship is now “complying with US military direction to turn back to Iran under escort,” it added.
Officials said the so-called shadow fleet has been sanctioned by the US Treasury for moving billions of dollars’ worth of Iranian energy exports – including propane and butane – to overseas buyers.
Since the blockade began, the US military says it has redirected 37 vessels attempting similar routes.
Iran to include US-Iran war in school textbooks
06:00 , Shweta SharmaIran plans to incorporate its recent conflict with the United States and Israel into school textbooks, the country’s education minister has said.
Alireza Kazemi described it as the “third imposed war” – a reference used by officials for the latest fighting, now under a ceasefire extended by Donald Trump.
“We will try to ensure that the memory of the martyrs and the strength of the Islamic Republic in the third imposed war are properly reflected in our textbooks,” the minister said.
He added that a dedicated working group has been set up to integrate accounts of the conflict into the curriculum, including what he described as narratives from the war and “the martyrdom of the leader”.
“We will present this history using all available capacities and pass it on to the new generation,” he said.
Last year, authorities introduced new curriculum materials portraying an earlier confrontation with Israel as a national success, aimed at reinforcing unity, patriotism and deterrence among students.

Iran executes man over alleged role in anti-government protests
05:30 , Shweta SharmaIran has executed a man over his alleged role in anti-establishment protests in January, with authorities claiming he acted on behalf of Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad.
Judiciary-linked media identified the man as Erfan Kiani, saying his death sentence had been upheld by the Supreme Court before being carried out early on Saturday.
Officials said Kiani led a group in the central city of Isfahan accused of damaging public and private property, setting fires, using Molotov cocktails, blocking roads and attacking security forces during the unrest.
State media portrayed him as a central figure in efforts to create “fear and chaos”, framing the case as part of what authorities describe as a wider campaign against foreign-backed activity.
The execution comes amid an ongoing crackdown following the January protests, with several people put to death in recent weeks on similar charges.
Earlier this month, two men were executed after being accused of attempting to storm a military site and seize weapons, while another man was killed over allegations he set fire to a mosque during the unrest.
Rights groups, including Amnesty International, have repeatedly raised concerns over the use of capital punishment in protest-related cases, saying defendants are often convicted in unfair trials.
Trump says White House dinner shooting incident won’t deter him from Iran war
05:08 , Shweta SharmaDonald Trump said he did not believe the shooting incident at the White House Correspondents’ dinner was linked to Iran war.
When asked whether the shooting was linked to the ongoing war in Iran, he said he did not believe that was the case, but investigators are still gathering information.
But stressed that the incident will not deter him from the war in Iran.

Iran's president says Tehran will not force negotiations with US
05:00 , Shweta SharmaAfter talks in Islamabad were cancelled for the second time, Iran’s president Masoud Pezeshkian has said Tehran will not engage in “forced negotiations” with the US while under pressure and threats, according to state broadcaster Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting.
In a phone call with pakistani mrime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Pezeshkian said US actions were eroding trust and making dialogue increasingly difficult. Progress, he warned, would remain elusive unless Washington halts what he described as “hostile actions and operational pressures”.
He added that the US must first remove “operational obstacles, including the blockade” affecting ships travelling to and from Iranian ports in order to create conditions for resolving disputes.
Sharif, in turn, said Islamabad would continue its “sincere and honest endeavours” to promote regional peace and security, according to a statement from his office.
In a post on X, he also welcomed Iran’s decision to send a high-level delegation led by foreign minister Abbas Araghchi to Islamabad for talks aimed at ending the conflict.
The Iranian delegation departed Islamabad on Saturday for further discussions in Oman.
Meanwhile, US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner had been expected to visit the Pakistani capital, but Donald Trump cancelled the trip at the last minute.
Israel directs military 'vigorously attack Hezbollah targets'
04:30 , Shweta SharmaIsrael’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has ordered the military to “vigorously attack Hezbollah targets” in Lebanon, just two days after a ceasefire between the sides was extended by three weeks.
The directive was swiftly followed by fresh Israeli strikes, amid renewed cross-border exchanges that have underscored the fragility of the truce.
While the agreement has reduced the intensity of fighting, it has fallen short of a complete halt in hostilities.
The ceasefire extension was agreed on Thursday after talks between the countries’ envoys in Washington, but violence has persisted.
On Saturday, Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon killed at least six people, according to Lebanese authorities.
Lebanon’s health ministry said four people were killed when a truck and a motorbike were targeted in the town of Yohmor al-Shaqeef in Nabatieh district, Agence France-Presse reported. In a separate attack on Safad al-Battikh in Bint Jbeil district, two more people were killed and 17 injured.
The Israel Defense Forces said it had “eliminated” three Hezbollah members travelling in a vehicle “loaded with weapons”, as well as another operative riding a motorcycle.

The agent was hit in an area covered by protective gear and not harmed, the official said.
All federal officials, including Trump, were safe. About an hour after Trump was rushed from the event, he posted on Truth Social that a "shooter had been apprehended."
"Quite an evening in DC Secret Service and Law Enforcement did a fantastic job," Trump added.
Addressing a press conference, Trump said the suspect was "a very sick person".
"We don't want things like this to happen," he said.
