Trump said on Friday morning that he would meet in a secure White House room to make a “final determination” on the proposal, which would extend an early-April truce for another 60 days, giving negotiators time to forge a permanent end to the war. <\/p>\n
A White House official said the meeting in the Situation Room lasted about two hours, but did not address whether Trump had made a decision. <\/p>\n
“President Trump will only make a deal that is good for America and satisfies his redlines. Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon,” the official was quoted by multiple news outlets as saying. <\/p>\n
Iran says deal close, Trump adds caveat<\/p>\n
A senior Iranian source told Reuters an agreement was close but had not yet been approved. <\/p>\n
However, Trump also said Iran would have to end its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz and dismantle its capacity to make a nuclear weapon – two conditions that Tehran has not agreed to. <\/p>\n
“Iran must agree that they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb. The Hormuz Strait must be immediately open, no tolls, for unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions,” Trump said, adding that nuclear material would be “unearthed” by the US. <\/p>\n
Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency, citing sources, said Trump’s comments were an “attempt to portray a fabricated victory.” <\/p>\n
The senior Iranian source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the potential deal does not include any nuclear-related issues, while Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on state TV that the management of the strait must be decided by Iran and Oman. <\/p>\n
What’s in the deal?<\/p>\n
Fars said the strait would be reopened under Tehran’s conditions after the US lifts its blockade on Iranian ships. <\/p>\n
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the US blockade would be lifted gradually if it were to occur. <\/p>\n
Fars reported that there was agreement to release $12 billion in Iran’s frozen assets. <\/p>\n
Trump said no money would be exchanged “until further notice” – a possible reference to Iran’s demands for toll payments in the strait, war damage reparations or a release of frozen Iranian assets. <\/p>\n
Oil prices fell, and stocks rose on Friday amid news of a potential deal. <\/p>\n

About five people, including both contractors and active duty personnel, suffered minor injuries, the person said. One Reaper was destroyed and at least one other was seriously damaged. The drones cost about $30 million each.<\/p>\n

US-Iran news LIVE: 3 killed, at least a dozen wounded in Israeli air strikes on southern Lebanon villages<\/p>\n
Three people have been killed and more than a dozen injured by Israeli air strikes early on Saturday morning, as attacks escalate in southern Lebanon, Lebanon\u2019s state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported.<\/p>\n
Two of those killed were identified as a father and son: Zuhair Ahmad Hashim and his son Ali, who were killed in an air strike by Israeli forces in the early hours of Saturday morning at their home in the al-Marj neighbourhood of Ansar, north of Tyre. Seven other family members were also injured, Lebanon\u2019s NNA said.<\/p>\n
The agency added that Israeli forces also carried out an air attack this morning on the Sharifa-Habbouch-Nabatieh road, killing one civilian and leaving another in a critical condition.<\/p>\n

US-Iran news LIVE: Qatar says temporary toll at Strait of Hormuz is negotiable<\/p>\n
Qatar opposes permanent legal fees for transit through the Strait of Hormuz, but a temporary toll is negotiable and could help restore normal passage through the key waterway, a top official said.<\/p>\n
A permanent fee would impact consumers, and Qatar objects to any move to impose them, Deputy Prime Minister Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said at an Asian defence conference in Singapore on Saturday. However, short-term charges used for mine clearing or similar purposes can be considered, he said.<\/p>\n
The comments were in response to a question about talks between Iran and Oman to impose a permanent toll system to formalise control of maritime traffic through Hormuz, one of the world\u2019s most important trade routes. Iran has effectively closed the waterway in response to US-Israeli airstrikes that began late February, triggering an energy crisis.<\/p>\n
\u201cQatar and also the partners in the Gulf stated very clearly that charging fees will always impact the consumer, so we are against this,\u201d Sheikh Saoud said at the Shangri-La Dialogue.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut for certain times that they say they will use it for mine-clearing or some usage of the fees for a temporary time, this is something that is negotiable,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Israeli military has issued another forced displacement order to residents of Jdeidet Ansar, Zrariyeh, Mazraat Kauthariyet el-Rez and Machgharah, towns located in southern Lebanon between Saida and Tyre, and in the Bekaa Valley.<\/p>\n

This is Israel\u2019s second forced displacement order to residents of southern Lebanon today, after previous orders issued to residents of Mayfadoun, Choukine, and Zebdine, all in the district of Nabatieh, southern Lebanon. Residents were told to leave their homes without delay and warned that remaining near Hezbollah members or military sites could endanger their lives.<\/p>\n

US-Iran news LIVE: Geopolitical Risk Advisor says Trump must face reality and cease the Iran conflict<\/p>\n
The United States is yet to firmly commit to an end to the conflict in West Asia, with President Trump’s meeting on the latest round of negotiations not producing a firm okay from him. The conflict has resulted in deep economic stress not just for the world but also for the United States.<\/p>\n
A recent Reuters report stated that U.S. inflation had increased at its fastest pace in three years in April. This was driven by higher energy prices. Citing data from the US Commerce Department, Reuters reported that surging price pressures are eroding household income and threatening to restrain consumer spending. The report further states that Income at the disposal of American households dropped for a third straight month in April.<\/p>\n
Geopolitical Risk Advisor Col. Douglas Macgregor (Retd.) warns that the US President has very few options, as a possible rise in interest rates could cause the American economy to implode.<\/p>\n
Speaking to ANI, Col. Macgregor said that perhaps it was time for the US President to come to terms with reality and admit the war was a bad idea.<\/p>\n
“Inflation jumped in April from 3.2% to 3.8%. Yesterday, I was looking at some projections, and there are some projections that say that by the end of July, beginning of August, it could be 5% or 6%. Now, when you begin to reach those levels, the normal response is to raise interest rates in order to suppress inflation. But he can’t do that. If he raises interest rates, our economy will probably implode. The whole financial system goes under. So what are you asking him to do? You’re asking him instead is to come to terms with reality. Look, this was a bad idea. We didn’t know what we were doing when we attacked Iran,” he said.<\/p>\n

US-Iran news LIVE: Israeli soldiers share rare accounts from Gaza, describing ongoing killings despite the ceasefire<\/p>\n
The Israeli combat soldier saw his teammates yelling in celebration, congratulating one another. They had just struck a vehicle of Palestinians driving near the Israeli-controlled part of the Gaza Strip, killing everyone inside.<\/p>\n
The reservist said scenes like this had become common after a fragile ceasefire took effect in October. In the weeks he was stationed in Gaza, he said, he saw soldiers relishing the chance to go after those who crossed \u2014 or came close to crossing \u2014 the so-called yellow line that divides the strip into Israeli-controlled and Palestinian areas.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a jungle,\u201d the soldier, in his 20s, told The Associated Press. \u201cAfter the ceasefire, the order was: If someone crosses the line, you shoot them.\u201d<\/p>\n
As diplomatic efforts to strengthen the deal have stalled, three soldiers described to AP a sense of confusion in the embattled territory, with a lack of clarity on rules of engagement around the yellow line. Some commanders paid lip service to the agreement, the soldiers said, while privately voicing a desire for the war in Gaza to continue. Sometimes, troops were too far away or acted too quickly to recognise who they were shooting, one soldier said \u2014 a concern echoed in comments from a whistleblower group of veterans.<\/p>\n

New Zealand\u2019s new defence minister, Chris Penk, has said that he is aiming for a \u201csmooth and steady\u201d rise in defence expenditure to meet a target of 2 per cent of GDP spent on the military within eight years.<\/p>\n
Penk\u2019s comments to Reuters come as Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth told the Shangri-La Dialogue conference that the US would prioritise relations with \u201cmodel allies\u201d who set aside 3.5 per cent of their GDP for defence spending.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs much as possible, it\u2019s our intention to have a smooth and steady upward trajectory to 2 per cent,\u201d Penk said.<\/p>\n

US-Iran news LIVE: Iran war raises airfares for Muslim pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia<\/p>\n
Muslims have long flocked to Saudi Arabia for one of religion\u2019s most important rituals, the six-day Hajj pilgrimage to the sacred city of Mecca. Only this year, the journey has turned out to be far more costly than usual.<\/p>\n
For Egyptians, the Middle East\u2019s biggest Muslim population, average ticket fares jumped to 50,000 Egyptian pounds ($956) from 30,000 pounds, according to the North African country\u2019s tourism federation. Packages \u2014 often the preferred options for travellers \u2014 have risen 30%, with some soaring to 90,000 pounds from 70,000 pounds.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s pilgrimage \u2014 which Muslims are generally required to perform once in their lifetime \u2014 is overshadowed by the war in Iran that\u2019s disrupted air traffic across the Gulf since February and resulted in record prices for jet fuel, in turn leading to higher ticket fares across airlines.<\/p>\n
Jazeera Airways, which is carrying more than 30,000 people from Russia and Central Asian countries to Mecca, said fares have risen by as much as 40% this season because the Kuwaiti company didn\u2019t hedge its fuel.<\/p>\n
Airfares to Saudi Arabia from major Muslim markets, including Egypt, Pakistan and India, have risen between 20% and 40% compared with the same period last year, according to travel company WEGO. Some routes now cost about 50% more.<\/p>\n

US-Iran news LIVE: Israeli forces push further into Lebanon as delegations meet in US<\/p>\n
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday his country’s forces had pushed deeper into Lebanon, even as military delegations from both countries held landmark security talks in Washington.<\/p>\n
Israel kept up its heavy bombardment of south Lebanon, with President Joseph Aoun emphasising in a call with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio “the need to exert all efforts to reach a ceasefire”.<\/p>\n
A truce to halt the fighting between Israel and Tehran-backed Hezbollah officially took effect on April 17, but has never been observed, with Iran insisting that Lebanon be included in any agreement with the United States to end the wider war that engulfed the region in February.<\/p>\n
Both Israel and Hezbollah accuse each other of violating the April ceasefire and justify their attacks by the other’s alleged breaches.<\/p>\n
Netanyahu announced Friday that Israeli forces had advanced beyond a river that runs around 30 kilometres (20 miles) north of the Lebanon-Israel frontier.<\/p>\n
“Our forces have crossed the Litani, they have moved up to the commanding terrain,” he said in a video released by his office, adding Israel was “hitting Hezbollah head on”.<\/p>\n

Trump, 79, said after the visit on Tuesday that everything checked out “PERFECTLY.”<\/p>\n
The president weighed in at 238 pounds (108 kilograms), up 14 pounds (6 kg) from a medical exam in April 2025. His doctors provided guidance on his diet, physical activity, and weight loss, but concluded that his “cognitive and physical performance are excellent.”<\/p>\n

US-Iran news LIVE: US sanctions Iranian buyers of military technology<\/p>\n
The United States announced Friday that it is “dismantling a sophisticated Iranian network” used to obtain sensitive military technology.<\/p>\n
The network “impersonated and defrauded” dozens of American technology companies out of millions of dollars to “acquire advanced equipment — including spectrum analyzers and security detection devices — for Iran’s defense sector,” State Department Tommy Pigott said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The statement did not name the technology companies who were lured into doing business through fake websites that “mimicked real American companies, using intermediaries in Dubai to receive shipments, and then smuggling the technology into Iran in violation of US sanctions.”<\/p>\n
The network was led by Iran-based Ali Majd Sepehr, the State Department spokesman said.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, the State Department announced a $15 million reward for any information “leading to the disruption of the financial mechanisms of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its various branches.”<\/p>\n
