President Trump expressed optimism about the possibility of U.S.-Iran peace talks, but Iran rejected U.S. terms and insists it has no plans to negotiate. The U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions against companies and individuals involved in aiding Iran's drone and missile development. Israel accused Hezbollah of two ceasefire violations in Lebanon.
The US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is contributing to uncertainty surrounding US-Iran talks, and the President has rejected extending the ceasefire deadline. New sanctions have been imposed on individuals and companies in Iran, Turkey, and the UAE, particularly those involved in drone components and ballistic missile propellant. Iran has vowed retaliation for targeting US and Persian Gulf infrastructure with drones.
