Iran says draft deal with US would reopen Hormuz shipping, end naval blockade

Iran's state TV says it has obtained a draft of an initial, unofficial framework for a memorandum of understanding with the US on ending their conflict. Under the framework, Iran would restore commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels within a month, while the US would withdraw military forces from Iran's vicinity and lift a naval blockade. State TV said the framework, which excludes military vessels and envisages Iran managing ship traffic through the strait in cooperation with Oman, was not yet finalised and that Tehran would take no steps without "tangible verification".

Trump says US negotiators will be in Pakistan on Monday for talks with Iran

US President Donald Trump says negotiators will head to Pakistan on Monday for talks with Iran, lifting hopes of extending a ceasefire set to expire this week even as Washington and Tehran remain locked in a standoff over the Strait of Hormuz. The prospect of talks on the horizon, which Iran did not immediately confirm, came as ships remained unable to transit the critical waterway amid threats from Iran and a US blockade on ships heading to and from Iranian ports. Iranian officials said earlier on Sunday that they remained open to negotiation, but held firm that ships wouldn't pass the strait while the US blockade remained in effect.

How are planes still flying through the Middle East? Are there safe routes for Australians to use?

The war in the Middle East has caused significant disruption to air travel around the world, including Australia. With hubs such as Doha, Abu Dhabi and Dubai being used by countless Aussie travellers to get to Europe, thousands were left stranded when conflict began earlier this month. Despite the threat of drone strikes and missiles in the area, thousands of Australians have been safely evacuated on repatriation flights offered by multiple airlines, but how are they able to do it, and what alternative flight routes should Aussies use if they want to get to Europe or other parts of the world? Qatar Airways is still carrying out some flights to Australia. (iStock) Has Middle East airspace opened? This question is hard to answer because it changes frequently....

UN nuclear watchdog chief says Iran could again begin enriching uranium in ‘matter of months’

The head of the United Nation's nuclear watchdog says US strikes on Iran fell short of causing total damage to its nuclear program and that Tehran could restart enriching uranium "in a matter of months", contradicting US President Donald Trump's claims the US set Tehran's ambitions back by decades. Rafael Grossi's comments appear to support an early assessment from the Pentagon's Defence Intelligence Agency, first reported on by CNN, which suggests the US' strikes on key Iranian nuclear sites last week did not destroy the core components of its nuclear program, and likely only set it back by months. While the final military and intelligence assessment has yet to come, Trump has repeatedly claimed to have "completely and totally obliterated" Tehran's nuclear program. IA...

‘Immediately evacuate Tehran’: Trump’s chilling social media warning

US President Donald Trump has urged a complete evacuation of the Iranian capital city of Tehran, as the conflict with Israel continues to escalate. "Iran should have signed the 'deal' I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life," Trump said in a post on Truth Social. "Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Donald Trump urged "everyone" to evacuate Tehran, Iran, "immediately". (Truth Social) "Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" Tehran is home to about 9.5 million people. A new round of talks scheduled for the weekend between the US and Iran were scotched when Israel launched a series of missile strikes targeting sites and people connected to Iran's nuclear program.
