‘No current talks with US’
Iran’s foreign minister says no decision has been made yet to resume talks with the US, as Washington has violated the Islamabad memorandum of understanding. Araghchi also said, Iran’s talks with Oman are ongoing, adding that this is an entirely separate issue and is different from opening of the Hormuz Strait. He said talks with Oman focus on technical matters related to defining maritime routes for the passage of ships in the waterway. Araghchi said teams of experts, along with the armed forces of Iran and Oman, are working on a temporary shipping route that could later be developed into a permanent one. Earlier, in a phone call with his Greek counterpart, the Iranian foreign minister said the current insecurity in the Strait of Hormuz is the direct result of US-Israeli aggression against Iran.
Israel Lebanon aggression
At least seven people have been killed in fresh Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon. The fatalities took place when an Israeli airstrike hit the town of Ansar in the Nabatieh District. The outskirts of Nabatieh al-Fawqa were targeted as well. Officials say the death toll is preliminary, as rescue teams are still operating in the area. The air raid comes as Israeli forces blew up a number of homes in the city of Bint Jbeil. The regime’s warplanes also launched an airstrike on a neighborhood in the town of al-Mansouri in the Tyre district. Since March the second, over 4,300 people have been killed and more than 12,200 others injured in Israeli aggression against Lebanon.
