Trump Says a Deal with Iran and Opening of Strait of Hormuz Are ‘Largely Negotiated’
Pakistan’s army chief met Iran’s foreign minister as mediators pressed to prevent escalation and Washington weighed possible strikes, officials said.
- Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir arrived in Tehran on Friday to bolster mediation efforts, meeting Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi late into the night to discuss "the latest diplomatic efforts and initiatives aimed at preventing further escalation."
- President Donald Trump abruptly canceled plans to attend his son's wedding, remaining in Washington due to "circumstances pertaining to government," fueling speculation the Iran crisis had reached a critical stage.
- U.S. officials are reportedly preparing for potential military strikes against Iran, though Secretary of State Marco Rubio told journalists there had been "some progress" in talks but "things were not there yet."
- Araghchi told UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres that Washington's "excessive demands" remain the primary obstacle to peace, even as Tehran maintains engagement in the diplomatic process.
- European Union nations condemned Iran's blockade as "contrary to international law," while fighting between Israel and Tehran-backed Hezbollah continues, further complicating efforts to restore access to the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
