Last update: 2 hours agoDiplomacy: Indirect US-Iran talks are continuing through Qatar and Oman, an Iranian lawmaker said, with both sides’ conditions under review. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Tehran has offered a seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if its conditions are met, while insisting it will not yield to threats. Hormuz Tensions: Iran’s Revolutionary Guards say two oil tankers struck mines and caught fire in the strait; the claims have not been independently confirmed. US Central Command says about 97% of vessels attempting to transit have passed without being hit and that the waterway remains open. Military Threats: President Donald Trump says the US is considering a massive conventional bomb against Iran and a strike on the deeply buried Pickaxe Mountain site, while ruling out nuclear weapons and ground troops. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth warned Tehran to reach a deal or face “devastation.” Economic Pressure: Banking sanctions have halted commercial trade at the Rimdan–Gabd crossing with Pakistan, Iranian officials say. CENTCOM also claims economic pressure is straining Iran’s military and the IRGC. Domestic Crackdown: The whereabouts of Ahmad Mostafanejad, detained after an IRGC intelligence summons in Piranshahr, remain unknown; his family and lawyer have reportedly been denied contact.
