U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday told a cabinet meeting that Iran very much wanted to make a deal, but that the U.S. was not satisfied with it yet.
"Iran is very ‌much intent, they want very much to make a deal. So far they haven't gotten there ... we're not satisfied with it, but ‌we will be. We ‌will be either that or ‌we'll have to just finish the job," Trump told reporters at a cabinet meeting at the White House. (Reuters)

Iran has expanded restrictions on distribution of news content from the country, directing international news outlets to restrict use of their content by Israeli media.A directive issued Tuesday to a group of international news outlets based in Tehran specified mandatory language to be included on “all submitted content, including photos, videos, reports, and other media productions.” The instructions, which were sent to a number of news organizations including The Associated Press, came from the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, which oversees media activity.  AP

The White House on Wednesday said a report from Iran's state TV citing a draft of an ‌initial, unofficial framework for a memorandum of understanding between ‌Iran and the ‌United States ‌was "not true" and that the cited memorandum was "a complete fabrication." (Reuters)

At least one person was killed and two others were injured in an unspecified accident at Iran's largest petrochemical complex in Asaluyeh on the Gulf coast, Iran's state media reported.

A fire has broken out in an administrative building at Imam Khomeini International Airport near Iran’s capital, Tehran, the Al Jazeera reported citing an Iranian media report.

US military contractors need at least three years to replenish stockpiles of three key weapons systems used heavily in the Iran war, according to an analysis released Wednesday, adding to concerns that American forces would have limited firepower in any future conflict with China.

The weapons systems are Tomahawk cruise missiles, which are used to strike targets deep inside enemy territory, and Patriot and THAAD interceptors that defend against incoming missiles and drones.

"The United States has enough munitions for any plausible scenario in the Iran war, but the depleted inventories have created a window of vulnerability for a potential Western Pacific conflict," the Centre for Strategic and International Studies said in its new report. "The time needed to rebuild those inventories has thus become a major concern."

China has a stated goal of ensuring its military is capable of taking Taiwan by force if necessary by 2027, which experts see as more aspirational than a hard deadline. But Chinese President Xi Jinping warned this month that if Washington mishandles its relations with the self-governing island, the US and China could end up clashing or even in open conflict. AP

Iran’s state TV said the Islamabad Memorandum framework has not yet been finalised and that Iran will take no step without “tangible verification”.

Iran’s state TV said the management and routing of ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz would be handled by Iran in coordination with Oman.

Iran’s state TV said military vessels are not included in the draft agreement.

Iran’s state TV said Tehran has committed to restoring commercial transit through the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels within one month in return.

South Korea's Foreign Ministry has stated that an Iranian-made antiship missile was "highly likely" used in an attack earlier this month on the HMM Namu in the Strait of Hormuz. The targeted vessel is operated by the prominent South Korean shipping company HMM.
Attributing the findings directly to national intelligence assessments, South Korea's Yonhap news agency cited the country's First Vice Foreign Minister Park Yoon-joo as saying the government came to the conclusion based on a "technical analysis". According to the agency, this extensive forensic review included evaluating the warhead's shape and gas debris colour to identify the origin of the weapon. ANI

Israel said Wednesday that it targeted and killed the new leader of Hamas' military wing during airstrikes in Gaza City less than two weeks after it killed his predecessor.

Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz and the Israeli military said the strikes, which were carried out on Tuesday, killed Mohammed Odeh.

Family members of a man called Mohammed Odeh said he was killed in the strike, but did not confirm he was the leader of the military wing. Hamas has not commented.

Katz called him "one of the architects" of the October 7, 2023, attacks that triggered over two years of war in Gaza and said it was the fourth time Israel has killed the head of Hamas' military wing since that massacre. Izz al-Din al-Haddad, the previous head, was killed on May 16.

At least three people were killed and 12 injured in Tuesday's strike, which took place on the eve of Eid al-Adha, a major Muslim holiday. AP

A day after at least 31 people were killed in Israeli attacks on Lebanon, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar blamed the Lebanese government for the “presence of Israeli forces in southern Lebanon,” Al Jazeera reported.

As shared by the State of Israel’s Arabic-language social media account, Saar also claimed that “Israel has no ambitions in Lebanese territory.”

Saar also said that the onslaught is “the result of the utter failure of the Lebanese government to fulfil its obligations” and keep Hezbollah fighters north of the Litani River, Al Jazeera quoted. (Al Jazeera)

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham described Pakistan’s potential role as a mediator in the United States’ conflict with Iran as “problematic”.

His remarks came after Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khwaja Asif said he does not support Islamabad joining the Abraham Accords, which aim to establish diplomatic, economic and security ties between Israel and several Arab countries.

Recap:

Israel pounded Lebanon with more than 120 air strikes on Tuesday in what is being called as one of the heaviest days of bombing in weeks, Lebanese security sources told Reuters.

Iran has sought an end to Israeli attacks in Lebanon as part of any deal with the United States.

Iran's foreign ministry called the US strikes in Iran's southern Hormozgan province, where Iranian media reported sounds of explosions early on Tuesday, a representation of a "gross violation" of a tenuous ceasefire in place for nearly seven weeks. (Reuters)

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has termed the role of Pakistan as a mediator in the United States' war with Iran as " more than problematic".

His remarks came as Pakistan's Defence Minister Khwaja Asif did not support Islamabad joining the Abraham Accords -- establishing diplomatic, economic and security ties between Israel and Arab nations.

"It has been apparent to me for quite a while that Pakistan as a mediator is more than problematic. Their animosity towards Israel is long standing," Graham said in a post on X.

He asked Pakistan to respond to US President Donald Trump's call to mediators in the US-Iran war to join the Accords. "As to the defence minister's comments about the Abraham Accords, saying that Pakistan would never join because they don't trust Israel: The clip may be a year old, but I fear the sentiment is fresh," the South Carolina senator stated.

"In that regard, it is imperative that Pakistan give an answer now to President Trump's call to join the Abraham Accords," Graham added.

United States President Donald Trump moved the Cabinet meeting, scheduled to be held on Wednesday, to the White House, citing bad weather.

The meeting was earlier being planned at Camp David, the presidential retreat.

Over a post on TruthSocial, Trump wrote: “Based on the possible bad weather conditions tomorrow, we will be having our Cabinet Meeting in the White House, and will be postponing the Cabinet trip to Camp David.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is stepping up military operations in Lebanon, with the army taking control of “strategically dominant positions” and reinforcing the buffer zone along the border following a surge in Hezbollah drone attacks, The Times of Israel reported.

Speaking during a full security cabinet session, Netanyahu said the Israeli military was operating with “significant forces on the ground” to protect communities in northern Israel. He also said Israel was investing in “creative and innovative solutions” to counter explosive drones used by Hezbollah.

Why it matters

The remarks signal a possible expansion of the Lebanon front even as tensions with Iran remain high, raising fears of a broader regional conflict involving multiple fronts across the Middle East.

The United States is planning to sharply reduce the military assets it would make available to NATO during a crisis, according to a Spiegel report. The proposed cuts include fewer fighter jets, strategic bombers, destroyers, submarines and mid-air refuelling aircraft for the alliance.

The report comes amid growing tensions between President Donald Trump and European allies over defence spending and support during the Iran conflict. Trump has repeatedly criticised NATO members and questioned Washington’s commitment to the alliance’s mutual defence obligations.

Why it matters

The move could mark one of the biggest shifts in NATO’s military structure in decades, forcing European countries to rapidly strengthen their own defence capabilities as fears grow over America reducing its security role in Europe.

An Israeli human rights organisation has petitioned authorities for the release of 14 Palestinian doctors detained during the Gaza war, saying they are being held in “harsh and degrading conditions” without adequate medical care or food. In a post on X, Physicians for Human Rights-Israel said it filed an official petition around a month ago seeking information on the doctors’ conditions and legal status, but claimed the Israeli government has yet to respond.

The group said the doctors are among nearly 400 healthcare workers detained by Israel during the war in Gaza, with roughly 60 medical workers still believed to be in custody. It alleged the detainees have faced physical abuse, severe restrictions and inadequate treatment while in detention. Israel’s Prison Service has denied accusations of mistreatment.

Why detention of Gaza doctors is drawing global scrutiny

The arrests of medical workers have become one of the most controversial aspects of the Gaza conflict, with international rights groups and humanitarian organisations warning that the detentions have further weakened Gaza’s collapsing healthcare system.

Hospitals across Gaza have repeatedly come under pressure during the war, with Israel accusing Hamas of operating from within or beneath medical facilities, allegations denied by Palestinian officials and several aid organisations. Humanitarian agencies say repeated raids, arrests and shortages of supplies have left large parts of Gaza’s medical infrastructure barely functional.

Pakistan plans to boost domestic storage for crude oil and refined products to increase its energy security, according to a government document that was shared with oil producers and some of the world's leading trading firms.

Despite depending on supplies through the Strait of Hormuz for up to 90% of its oil and liquefied natural gas imports, Pakistan has no strategic petroleum reserves.

That has left it exposed to supply shocks provoked by the Iran war, even as its lending programme with the International Monetary Fund limits room for costly state-owned emergency stocks.

According to the document reviewed by Reuters, the energy ministry is proposing to build strategic petroleum reserves as well as commercial storage through bonded terminals, refineries and oil marketing companies. It is also pushing for more oil and gas exploration and production, upgrades to its refineries and a consolidation of its downstream sector.

Iran’s negotiating team said $24bn of frozen Iranian assets must be released in any potential deal with the United States, Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency reported, citing an unnamed source. The source said Tehran’s position is that half of the amount – $12bn – must be released when a memorandum of understanding is announced, with the remaining released within 60 days, it added.

The news agency said Iran’s top negotiator, Mohammad Baqr Qalibaf, travelled to Qatar to reach an agreement on a mechanism ‌to implement this demand.

Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei today invited all the Islamic countries to forge friendship and cooperation and said the “shaky Zionist regime” in Israel is moving closer to the end of its “ominous existence”. After the US launched fresh attacks in southern Iran earlier today, Khamenei, in a statement, said regional powers will no longer act as a shield for the American bases and the country can no longer have a safe haven in the region, news agency Reuters reported.

Who is Mojtaba Khamenei?

Mojtaba Khamenei is one of Iran’s most influential clerics and a central figure in the country’s political and security establishment.

After the US launched "self-defence" strikes on southern Iran, Tehran's Revolutionary Guards, in a statement, said it has the right to respond to any breach of the US ceasefire. 

What is Iran’s Revolutionary Guard?

The IRGC is Iran’s elite military force tasked with protecting the country’s Islamic system and overseeing regional operations. The group plays a major role in Iran’s foreign and military strategy.

Pakistan rejected US President Trump’s invitation to normalise relations with Israel, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting reported.

This comes a day after Trump suggested that six Muslim-majority countries should join the Abraham Accords, tying the framework to the ongoing efforts to reach a peace deal with Iran. Apart from Pakistan, these countries include Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Egypt and Jordan.

Now that Pakistan has junked the proposal, how will the other countries respond?

While no other country has so far publicly responded to Trump's demand, any positive reaction from these Muslim countries was unlikely, as the public mistrust of Israel remains high for them over the extent of its military offensive in Gaza.

A positive reaction was unlikely as the public mistrust of Israel remains high for these Muslim countries over the extent of its military offensive in Gaza.

Abolfazl Shekarchi, a senior spokesperson for Iran’s Armed Forces, warned that any new aggression against Iran will trigger a “far more severe” response extending beyond the region, telling Fars news agency that if another war begins, Iran’s attacks will be heavier and more violent than in previous rounds and will reach beyond the region’s borders.
