    Ismail Baqaei, spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, announced on Sunday, July 25, without providing details, that there have been "advancements" in the negotiations and discussions between Tehran and Muscat.

    This official from the Islamic Republic made his comments after an Omani delegation, which had come to Tehran to discuss the management of the Strait of Hormuz, left Iran on Saturday evening.

    Baqaei explained about these negotiations: "On Friday and Saturday, several rounds of discussions were held between Iran and Oman at the level of deputy foreign ministers in Tehran, during which both sides exchanged views on common principles and operational mechanisms for ensuring safe maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz while respecting the sovereign rights of the two coastal states."

    The Foreign Ministry official further added that "currently, there has been no change in the status of traffic in the Strait."

    CNN: Sources say Vance and Keene expressed concern about escalating war in Iran

    A knowledgeable source on the matter and an American official told CNN that while Donald Trump, the President of the United States, was considering the possibility of escalating war in Iran during a White House meeting on Friday, JD Vance, the Vice President, and General Dan Keen, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, both expressed concern about this action.

    On Friday night, after nearly two weeks of consecutive nighttime airstrikes, it appeared that the U.S. had halted its bombing campaign in Iran. A source at the U.S. Department of Defense told CNN on Saturday, "Operations have been paused for now."

    According to sources, Keen specifically expressed concern on Friday about U.S. ammunition supplies and other potential negative consequences. One source said Keen informed Trump that the U.S. military could execute the options available to him and succeed, but then warned about the potential repercussions.

    Both sources stated that concerns about ammunition supplies were among several issues raised with Trump during this meeting. It is currently unclear whether this concern or warning about escalating war were the main reasons for the halt in the U.S.'s consecutive nighttime strikes or whether this pause will continue.

    Steven Chung, the White House Communications Director, said, "Given the successful sanctions that have crippled Iran's economy and 13 consecutive days of attacks on military targets in response to this country's repeated aggressions, it is wise for Iran to seek a negotiated agreement. Otherwise, they know what will happen."

    New York Times: Trump, after expressing concerns from advisors, has temporarily refrained from escalating attacks against Iran.

    One concern is that an escalation of hostilities could dangerously deplete the already reduced air defense ammunition stocks in the Middle East.

    According to machine translation:
    President Trump has, at least for now, set aside plans for a significant escalation of U.S. military attacks against Iran; particularly because he is worried that an escalation of the war could dangerously deplete the Pentagon's already reduced stocks of Patriot anti-ballistic missile interceptors and other air defense munitions in the Middle East.

    According to government officials, the threat to interceptor missile stocks is one of several considerations that has made a return to large-scale combat operations a very risky undertaking. Mr. Trump and his senior aides are also concerned about the potential for war to expand in the Middle East, the alienation of key Gulf allies vulnerable to Iranian attacks, global economic pressure, and the exacerbation of energy and refugee crises.

    According to two individuals who were briefed on the discussions, the latest shift in Mr. Trump's approach to managing the dispute with Iran occurred after a meeting on Friday with his senior advisors and high-ranking cabinet members.

    According to these officials, who requested anonymity to discuss operational matters, confidential consultations have focused on the reduction of Patriot interceptor missile stocks and other air defense systems of the Pentagon. A senior U.S. official said that last Friday, when a ballistic missile passed through U.S. air defenses — which were dealing with a wave of Iranian missiles and drones — three American soldiers were killed in Jordan.

    According to these officials, General Dan Keen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has privately warned that a resumption of large-scale combat operations against Iran is possible, but it would dangerously reduce the interceptor missile stocks available to the U.S. Central Command, which is responsible for operations in the Middle East. A spokesperson for General Keen declined to comment on the recommendations he provides to the President.

    Steven Chung, White House Communications Director, said the President "has consistently stated that he prefers a diplomatic solution, but if Iran continues its terrorist activities in the Strait of Hormuz or against allies, he keeps all options on the table." He added that after enduring crippling sanctions and repeated attacks, "it is wise for Iran to seek a negotiated agreement; otherwise, they know what will happen."

    Mr. Trump has been grappling with how to proceed in his nearly five-month war against Iran and specifically how to reopen the Strait of Hormuz; this comes as gasoline prices are rising again with the resumption of hostilities in the past two weeks. Failed diplomacy and the latest round of extensive U.S. attacks do not seem to have deterred Iran militarily.

    According to the two individuals who were briefed on the discussions, very few — if anyone — in Mr. Trump's inner circle believed that the plan to escalate the conflict was wise. Another senior U.S. official, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, expressed doubt that a resumption of large-scale combat operations could bring Iran back to the negotiating table.

    The U.S. maritime blockade against Iran remains fully in effect. As of July 25, CENTCOM has redirected the routes of 12 commercial vessels attempting to breach the blockade, disabled 2 vessels that did not comply with orders, and boarded 2 vessels to ensure complete compliance.

    This morning, U.S. forces completed entry and inspection operations for verification on the oil tanker M/T Charminar, flagged under Comoros, in the Arabian Sea, and this tanker is now continuing on its course.

    On July 24, CENTCOM forces disabled the oil tanker M/T Lavine, flagged under Mozambique, in the Sea of Oman after its crew attempted multiple times to violate the blockade and ignored repeated warnings. This vessel is no longer heading towards Iran.

    U.S. forces 🇺🇸 remain fully vigilant, focused, lethal, and ready.

    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic condemned Ukraine's attack on an Iranian vessel in the Caspian Sea, stating that this attack, which occurred early Saturday morning, resulted in the explosion of the ship, the death of one person, and the injury of another.

    In this statement, the action was described as a "hostile act," and it was noted that such an attack could lead to the escalation and expansion of the war.

    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic also referred to what it called the "acknowledgment of the Ukrainian regime's president" regarding this attack, stating that this indicates the continuation of Kyiv's hostile approach towards the Islamic Republic.

    At the end of this statement, the Ministry emphasized that the Islamic Republic will defend its national interests and security, holding Ukraine and its supporters responsible for any consequences arising from this incident.

    This reaction came after Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, announced that his country's forces targeted a Russian warship and vessels used for transporting military cargo related to Iran in last night's long-range attacks in the Caspian Sea.

    On Saturday, August 25, Zelensky wrote in a message on X that Ukraine's operations in the Caspian Sea had yielded "very good" results, and among the targets were vessels that were being used "with Iran's participation" to transfer military cargo. He did not provide further details about the identity of the warship or the targeted vessels.

    Axios: Trump Ordered the Military Not to Conduct Strikes in Iran on Friday

    Machine Translation:
    Two sources familiar with the decision said that Donald Trump, the President of the United States, ordered the military not to carry out new strikes in Iran on Friday; an order that ended nearly two weeks of daily attacks.

    Why It Matters: The President's order came after he had approved attacks every day for the past 13 days. It is still unclear whether Trump's order on Friday was a sudden decision or if this pause will continue.

    ▪️ Trump's decision reflects both his desire to provide more space for diplomacy and his assessment that the current level of U.S. attacks—unless returning to large-scale combat operations—has reached its effectiveness limit.

    ▪️ If Trump orders the resumption of attacks, the U.S. military could be prepared to carry them out in a relatively short time.

    ▪️ According to sources, the U.S. military is still preparing plans for a possible return to large-scale combat operations, but Trump has not yet issued an order to move in that direction.
    ▪️ The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

    What Triggered the News: Over the past two weeks, Trump has approved attack plans presented by the military every afternoon, and these attacks have been executed within hours.

    ▪️ On Friday, a similar plan was presented to Trump, but he did not approve it. Instead, sources said he ordered the military not to conduct any attacks.

    ▪️ Shortly after issuing this order on Friday, Trump told reporters at the White House that he could continue or even escalate the attacks, including "destroying everything they have."

    ▪️ However, he made it clear that he believes the "smarter strategy" is to "reach an agreement" with Iran.

    ▪️ Trump said, "We are currently talking to [the Iranians]. I think they are getting more serious every day. We are fully armed and ready, but we are talking to them."

    ▪️ Later on Friday, in his remarks at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, he said he does not believe Iran is ready for an agreement right now, "but I am ready to listen."

    Current Situation: Trump's order to halt attacks was issued just hours after an Omani delegation arrived in Tehran on Friday to discuss new arrangements for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

    ▪️ Two regional sources familiar with the negotiations said there has been progress in the talks, and an agreement between Oman and Iran may be reached over the weekend.
    ▪️ After that, President Trump will have to decide whether to accept the proposed agreement.

    Trump's decision also reflects his willingness to give diplomacy more of a chance and indicates the understanding that—unless returning to large-scale combat operations—the current level of U.S. attacks has reached its maximum effectiveness.

    The news website Wynet reported that Israeli officials had estimated that a large-scale U.S. attack on Iran, which Donald Trump, the President of the United States, had said he was considering, would begin on Friday night and continue into Saturday morning. However, by the end of Friday, they concluded that Trump had currently halted the attack and given Tehran another opportunity.

    According to the report, behind the scenes, Qatar and Oman exerted significant pressure on the Islamic Republic to soften its positions and prevent what appeared to be a large-scale and almost certain U.S. operation.

    The report added that Israeli officials still believe that the understanding between Tehran and Washington has effectively collapsed, and the likelihood of reaching a permanent agreement that would compel the Iranian government to accept U.S. demands is close to zero.

    According to this report, from Israel's perspective, the new opportunity that Trump has given Tehran only allows the Islamic Republic to buy time for a short period and does not change Israel's overall assessment.

    Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, announced that his country's forces targeted a Russian warship as well as ships that, according to him, were used for transporting military cargo related to Iran in the Caspian Sea.

    On Saturday, August 25, Zelensky wrote in a message on X that Ukraine achieved "very good" results in last night's long-range attacks in the Caspian Sea. According to him, among the targets of this operation were ships that were used "in cooperation with Iran" to transfer military cargo. The President of Ukraine did not provide further details about the identity of the warship or the targeted vessels.

    The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) also reported the same day that Ukrainian drones targeted the "Filanovsky" oil platform, owned by the Russian company Lukoil, located in the Caspian Sea. According to this agency, two cargo ships named "Port Olia 2" and "Beg" were also hit in the same operation; ships that, according to the Security Service of Ukraine, played a role in transferring military cargo between Russia and Iran.

    So far, neither Moscow nor Tehran has responded to these claims, and Ukraine's reports have not been independently verified.

    Trump's speech at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, machine translation of parts related to Iran:

    ... They asked, "Are you staying?"
    I said, "Yes, I’m staying. I mean, I think I’ll stay."
    What else do I have to do? I have Iran; I have this, I have that. All of this is going incredibly well. Don’t believe the fake news.

    Earlier we were talking. I said, "We have targeted Iran very hard. Their navy is gone; their air force is gone. 250 fighter jets no longer exist. 159 boats; they were good boats.
    In fact, I said: Why didn’t we keep them for ourselves? We could have used them. But all 159 boats are at the bottom of the sea.
    They have no radar. Contrary to what you see, they have very few drones left. Occasionally they display some things, but they don’t have much left.

    By the way, they are currently talking to us. They really want to make a deal. I don’t think they are ready yet. I don’t think the time has come yet, but I’m willing to listen.

    But they cannot have nuclear weapons. We don’t want Washington D.C., any of our cities, Israel, or, to be honest, the Middle East to be destroyed by a nuclear weapon; because I know the power of nuclear weapons. I see it; I’m allowed to see it. We will not let that happen.

    So, all of this is about not allowing them to have nuclear weapons."
    [Audience applause]
    "And if they had it, they would use it. If they had it, they would use it."

    We have many achievements that the media never talks about.
    For example, during my administration, a powerful regime that was once terrifying and constantly attacking America has finally been overthrown. Its former leaders have been removed, and now a gay dictatorship is running it, facing internal conflicts.

    Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, has been suspended from his position following investigations into allegations of "sexual misconduct." The oversight body of the International Criminal Court announced this news on Monday evening, June 18, stating that the decision to suspend Khan was made after the disciplinary proceedings regarding the allegations of "sexual misconduct" in his case reached a conclusion.

    Karim Khan, a prominent British lawyer, has repeatedly denied these allegations, which were first raised in 2024.

    The oversight body of the International Criminal Court stated that the executive committee of this body has voted to refer Khan's case to a special meeting of member states to decide on his professional future. The committee, composed of representatives from 21 member countries, has reached the conclusion by a necessary majority that Khan has committed a "serious violation" in connection with the allegations of sexual misconduct.

    These allegations were made by a woman who worked for Khan at the court's headquarters in The Hague. The emergence of these claims in 2024 caused turmoil and a crisis during his management of the court's prosecution division.

    The decision to refer the case to the 125 member countries of the court is considered an unprecedented action in the history of this international judicial body and could ultimately lead to a vote on the prosecutor's removal from office. The governing body of the court emphasized in a statement that Khan's suspension "does not imply a determination of the final outcome of the case."

    Khan had previously temporarily stepped back from managing part of the court responsible for investigating and prosecuting individuals accused of international crimes. The statement noted that the executive committee made its decision based on a report from a UN oversight body, the opinion of a panel of legal experts, and written submissions from both Khan and the complainant. This ruling is the latest development in a process that has involved the International Criminal Court for nearly two years.

    Karim Khan, 56, who was pursuing the arrest of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, has been accused of sexual misconduct with a female assistant. Earlier, the Associated Press had reported on a series of sexual allegations against Karim Khan, which he has denied. According to documents seen by the Associated Press, Khan engaged in a sexual relationship with his assistant and then attempted to prevent her from pursuing legal claims against him.

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, told reporters at the White House on Friday, July 24, that in his opinion, the Islamic Republic of Iran is becoming "more serious" in negotiations with Washington every day, although he emphasized that the outcome of these talks is still uncertain. He noted that he prefers the path of negotiation, adding, "There are two ways; one seems more sensible to me, but the other is probably easier."

    The U.S. President, referring to the presence of officials like J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio in the negotiation process, stated that the main issue is "not complicated" and emphasized that Iran "should not acquire nuclear weapons." Trump also claimed that if the negotiations fail, the U.S. can escalate its actions "to a much higher level," adding that Tehran is in a position where it is "virtually forced to reach an agreement." He also mentioned that he is not in a hurry to reach a conclusion and stressed that this process must proceed "correctly."

    He stated that he trusts the words of Xi Jinping, the President of China, and Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, regarding not providing assistance and selling weapons to Iran.

    These remarks came after U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth had previously stated in a Senate Q&A session that China and Russia are "facilitating" the actions of the Islamic Republic at various levels. However, Trump told reporters that the leaders of both countries have promised him they will not interfere in this matter, adding, "I think I trust them. They don't want to disappoint me."

    President Xi told me during our recent meeting in Beijing, China, that under no circumstances will he provide or sell weapons to the Islamic Republic of Iran — and this statement also included Chinese companies. Given our relationship, I believe him, and in addition, I am also doing him very big favors.

    Also, President Putin, despite the terrible war ongoing in Ukraine (the relationship remains intact, just as it does with President Zelensky), told me that he will not sell weapons to Iran. He knows that I am not selling weapons to Ukraine, but to NATO member countries. They pay the full price, and I have no information on how those weapons are distributed.

    Therefore, the two major countries that people often mention in connection with Iran, in my opinion, are not participating in this matter. If they were, it would be very bad for them — and certainly not in their interest.

    The British government announced that its armed forces are ready to protect the country against any attack.

    This stance was expressed after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that American bombers should not be allowed to use British bases.

    In a statement on Thursday, the IRGC announced that the U.S. has used the Fairford base in southwestern England to carry out bombing missions against Iran, adding that any base used for such attacks would be a legitimate target.

    Andy Burnham, the new Prime Minister of Britain, was informed last week that London has once again reached an agreement with the U.S. to use British bases under what is referred to as "collective defense of the region."

    A spokesperson for the British government said, "Our armed forces are ready to protect Britain against any attack, whether on home soil or abroad."

    The New York Times reported, citing several Iranian and Iraqi officials, that the Islamic Republic of Iran has rejected a ceasefire proposal from Donald Trump, the President of the United States. According to the report, the proposal was presented to Iranian officials during the visit of Ali Al-Zaydi, the Prime Minister of Iraq, to Tehran. During his visit to Iran, Mr. Zaydi met with Masoud Pezeshkian, the President, and Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, the Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly. The details of this ceasefire proposal are unclear, but Iranian officials told the New York Times that this is the only proposal on the table and they are not interested in a temporary agreement that leaves the issue of controlling the Strait of Hormuz unresolved.

    On Friday, August 2, Amnesty International urged the authorities of the Islamic Republic to immediately halt any plans to carry out the execution of Benjamin Nagdi, an athlete.

    Benjamin Nagdi was arrested on January 3, 2025, in Shiraz in connection with nationwide protests and was forcibly disappeared for 53 days.

    Iranian state media broadcast his forced "confessions" one day after his arrest and before the trial took place.

    This athlete was later sentenced to death on May 11 of this year on charges of "corruption on earth," with the claim that he used a fire extinguisher against security forces.

    Amnesty International states that the death sentence for Benjamin Nagdi was issued after a "severely unfair trial."

    This human rights organization has expressed concern that Benjamin Nagdi's "confessions" may have been obtained under duress, citing previous patterns of Iranian authorities in obtaining forced confessions "under torture and other ill-treatment."
