Welcome to our live coverage of events in the Middle East.
Donald Trump has said Iran can telephone if it wants to negotiate an end to the war and that it must agree never to have a nuclear weapon, while Pakistan’s leaders have sought to revive the stalled peace talks between Washington and Tehran.
Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi talked to mediators Pakistan and Oman before travelling to Russia on Monday, where he is due to meet Vladimir Putin. Hopes of reviving peace efforts receded on Saturday when Trump scrapped a visit to Islamabad by his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
“If they want to talk, they can come to us, or they can call us,” Trump told Fox News on Sunday. “You know, there is a telephone. We have nice, secure lines.
“They know what has to be in the agreement,” the US president said. “It’s very simple: they cannot have a nuclear weapon, otherwise there’s no reason to meet.”
In a sign that peace efforts were ongoing, Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency said Tehran had sent “written messages” to the Americans via Pakistan outlining red lines, including nuclear issues and the strait of Hormuz. But Fars also said the messages were not part of formal negotiations.
In Lebanon, Israeli strikes killed 14 people and wounded 37 on Sunday, the health ministry said, amid an ongoing Israel-Lebanon ceasefire agreement.
