Israel Says Industrial Site on Fire After Iranian Attack as Hundreds Mourn Killed Journalists in Lebanon

US special envoy Steve Witkoff expressed hope for talks with Iran this week amid ongoing US-Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear and industrial sites disrupting regional markets.

  • On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff said he believes Iran will hold talks with Washington "this week" to end the month-long war, telling a business forum in Miami the U.S. is "certainly hopeful" for meetings.
  • US-Israeli strikes hit two Iranian nuclear facilities, including a heavy water complex in Khondab and a uranium processing plant 600 kilometres away in Ardakan, prompting Iran to threaten retaliation against regional industrial sites.
  • Witkoff highlighted a "15-point plan on the table" that Iran has possessed for some time, expecting a response; however, Iran has only sent "messages" to the American side without formally committing to the proposal.
  • Oil prices closed more than 4 per cent higher Friday amid market turmoil, while Iran's Revolutionary Guards threatened to strike industrial sites in the region in response to the attacks.
  • President Trump extended his deadline for Tehran to open the Strait of Hormuz from Friday to Apr 6, threatening destruction of Iran's energy assets if the blockade persists beyond that date.
