Overview
- Iran’s foreign ministry says a US plan sent through a Pakistani intermediary to extend the ceasefire and start talks is under review.
- The US military says it struck two Iranian oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, a move Tehran calls a breach of the truce.
- Bahrain says it dismantled an IRGC‑linked network and arrested 41 people, and the UAE publicly backed Manama’s security steps.
- A CNN‑cited report describes a hardline faction inside Iran using media, parliament and street pressure to oppose any deal with Washington.
- Analysts warn the 30‑day talks framework is too short, which makes limited US military steps more likely if diplomacy stalls.
