Reactions and statements from the international community
Hezbollah has ceded 600-700 square kilometers of territory and agreed to a ceasefire, an unprecedented development in the ongoing conflict.
US Energy Secretary Chris Wright reported to Fox News that negotiations between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz are progressing well, with both sides close to reaching an agreement. Wright highlighted the positive assessment of the talks and expressed hope for a resolution that would allow for the eventual resumption of ship traffic through the strait.
The United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran have reached a stalemate in negotiations, with Iran's Tasnim News Agency reporting that the regime has not decided to send a delegation to Islamabad for the second round of talks scheduled for Tuesday. The naval blockade imposed by the U.S. remains in effect, and according to Tasnim, the exchange of messages through a Pakistani intermediary continues without significant progress due to "excessive demands" from the American side.
In an interview with Fox News, President Trump warned that if the Islamic Republic of Iran does not accept the proposed agreement, which includes surrendering enriched uranium, keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, and halting missile programs, Iran will face severe consequences, potentially leading to the regime's downfall.
Mike Waltz, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, stated that the U.S. Navy and President Trump have ultimate control over the Strait of Hormuz, emphasizing that all options are available for actions against the Islamic Republic regime, including potential escalation and targeting of critical infrastructure.
President Trump announced that the Islamic Republic of Iran has violated a ceasefire agreement by firing in the Strait of Hormuz and warned that if Washington's proposal is rejected, "all power plants and bridges" will be targeted. He also stated that U.S. ships are heading to ports in Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska, emphasizing that a fair deal is on the table and threatening no more friendly behavior if it is not accepted.

Tasnim News Agency, affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, reported that the Iranian negotiating team stated no negotiations will occur while former President Trump's naval blockade statement against Iran remains in effect. The exchange of messages between Iran and the United States through a Pakistani intermediary has continued but has not yielded results due to "excessive demands and ambitions of the Americans," according to Tasnim.
US Ambassador to the UN, Marcie Waltz, stated that bridges and power plants operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are legitimate military targets, both currently and historically, and dismissed claims that targeting such infrastructure constitutes war crimes.
US Ambassador to the UN, Waltz, stated that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is in disarray due to targeted attacks on its leadership, attributing this to the U.S. naval blockade and President Trump's control over what enters and exits Iran, thus undermining Iran's economic leverage over the world.
The Tasnim News Agency, affiliated with the IRGC, reported that the Islamic Republic has no plans to send a negotiating delegation and will not engage in negotiations while the United States maintains a maritime blockade. Tasnim also stated that Pakistan has continued to act as an intermediary, exchanging messages between the two sides since the first round of talks ended.
Iran has stated it will not engage in negotiations or hold talks with the United States until its naval blockade is lifted, according to TASNIM news agency.
