US Iran War LIVE:– Israel on Monday said it had uncovered an Iranian network that had planned to attack a pipeline carrying crude oil from Azerbaijan to the Mediterranean as well as Israeli and Jewish targets in Azerbaijan. In a joint statement, the Mossad and Shin Bet intelligence agencies said a plan by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to attack the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline through Georgia to Turkey several weeks ago had been thwarted.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Monday that every rational and diplomatic path should be used to reduce tensions with the US, but added that vigilance and distrust in interactions with Washington were an “undeniable necessity”, according to the state news agency IRNA. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei was quoted as saying by Tasnim news that Pakistan is currently the only official mediator in the diplomatic process.

Iran’s Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has said that while “progress has been made” in negotiations to end the war with the United States, the two sides are “far from final discussion”. “There are some issues on which we insist… They also have red lines. But these issues could be just one or two,” Ghalibaf said while speaking to state television. “We are still far from the final discussion.”
What has happened so far: Iran said it has brought the Strait of Hormuz back under strict control after briefly declaring it open, citing the ongoing US blockade under Donald Trump, while officials said several vessels have been turned back in recent days; at the same time, maritime authorities reported gunfire and a projectile incident involving Indian ships in the waterway, raising safety concerns, as Iran confirmed it is reviewing new US proposals but no date has been set for the next round of talks, and a ceasefire linked to fighting involving Hezbollah in Lebanon continues to hold despite ongoing strikes and warnings from both sides.
