    Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, announced on Monday in an interview with Fox News that Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is unacceptable to the U.S. and other countries. The Secretary of State, after the host referenced Iran's proposal regarding negotiations, stated: What they mean by keeping the strait open is that yes, the strait is open, provided you coordinate with Iran, get our permission, or otherwise we will target you and you will have to pay us. Rubio emphasized: This is not reopening the strait. These waterways are international, and it cannot be accepted or normalized for a country to determine who is allowed to use an international waterway and what amount must be paid for its use.

    Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, in an interview with Fox News, stated that the power structure in Tehran is facing a deep and unprecedented rift. Rubio, rejecting traditional boundaries between moderates and hardliners, emphasized that the entire political class ruling Iran falls under the category of hardliners, but there is a fundamental disagreement among them regarding how to ensure the country's survival. He divided this class into two factions: first, hardliners who emphasize the necessity of managing the economy and providing for people's livelihoods to prevent collapse, and second, the hard core of power, including the leadership and the Revolutionary Guard, who, with an ideological and apocalyptic perspective, are indifferent to economic consequences. According to the U.S. Secretary of State, this internal tension has now reached its peak with ambiguity surrounding the leadership of Mojtaba Khamenei and his public absence, posing a serious challenge to the regime's credibility. Rubio stated in this interview that the biggest obstacle to U.S. negotiations with officials of the Islamic Republic is that American diplomats are not dealing with a single party, but with a system that must first reach a conclusion in an internal battle between hardline realists and apocalyptic ideologues over the feasibility and content of any agreement.

    The Chancellor of Germany claimed on Monday, April 26, that the United States has been "humiliated" by Iran and warned that this conflict will not end anytime soon. Friedrich Merz, during a visit to a school in the city of Marsberg, Germany, said: "The Iranians are clearly stronger than expected, and the Americans apparently have no truly convincing strategy in the negotiations." He added, "The problem with such conflicts is that it's not enough to just get into them; one must also be able to get out of them. We painfully saw this in Afghanistan over 20 years. The same goes for Iraq." Merz stated, "The United States has clearly entered this war without any strategy," making it more difficult to end the conflict. According to the Chancellor of Germany, "A very complex situation has currently arisen, and this costs us a lot. This conflict, this war against Iran, has a direct impact on our economic production."

    Friedrich Merz, the Chancellor of Germany, on Monday, March 26, commented on developments in Iran, stating that the leadership of the Islamic Republic, particularly what is referred to as the Revolutionary Guard, has humiliated an entire nation. According to Reuters, Merz, during a Q&A session at a university, criticized the U.S. military approach in the war with the Islamic Republic, saying: "I do not see (understand) the U.S. strategy for exiting the war with Iran." A few months ago, following the massacre of thousands during the national revolution of Iranians in January 2025, he stated that the Islamic Republic has only a few weeks or months left to live. In the same session, in response to a question, he said: "The Iranians negotiate skillfully and are clearly stronger than we thought." The Chancellor of Germany, who is considered one of the closest European leaders to Donald Trump and has not directly condemned the U.S. and Israeli war against the Islamic Republic, called for an immediate end to hostilities in the Middle East due to its impact on the German economy.

    Tokyo Gas announced that for the first time since 1980, it will increase the fixed portion of gas bills for its customers. According to the company, the monthly bill for an average household will rise by about 2.6% starting in October.

    Tokyo Gas stated that this increase is intended to compensate for higher costs associated with maintaining services, information systems, call centers, and the safety of gas equipment. The variable portion of gas and electricity bills in Japan is also adjusted monthly based on changes in the prices of imported fuels.

    This decision comes as households and businesses in Japan are facing rising inflation, with the Middle East conflict driving up the costs of gasoline, electricity, and imported energy.

    In recent weeks, the Japanese government has increased its oil imports from the United States to reduce its dependence on Middle Eastern energy.

    Naim Qassem, the Secretary-General of Hezbollah Lebanon, rejected direct negotiations between the government of this country and Israel, stating that such actions would lead to "instability."

    In statements released on Monday, Mr. Qassem dismissed the disarmament of Hezbollah and warned Lebanese government officials that, according to him, "their actions are neither in the interest of Lebanon nor in their own interest."

    He stated that "the responsibility of the Lebanese government is to stop direct negotiations" with Israel and "return to indirect negotiations."

    Hezbollah entered the war against Israel in support of Tehran on March 2 last year, involving Lebanon as well. On April 16, a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah Lebanon was implemented with the mediation of Washington, but Israeli forces remain stationed in the ground strip, penetrating 5 to 10 kilometers across the Lebanese border.

    Since the establishment of this ceasefire, two rounds of negotiations at the ambassadorial level between Israel and Lebanon have been held with the presence of U.S. officials, and Washington representatives have expressed optimism about holding bilateral negotiations aimed at ending the historical conflict between Israel and Lebanon in the coming weeks.

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, stated that the Islamic Republic has only about three days until the oil transfer lines reach a breaking point if the blockade continues and it is unable to transfer oil to storage or ships. He explained that when a massive volume of oil is flowing through the transfer lines and cannot be discharged, internal pressure increases, and this situation can lead to an explosion both mechanically and underground. Donald Trump added that if such an explosion occurs, restoring the lines to their previous state will not be possible, and even if they are rebuilt, their capacity will reach a maximum of about 50% of the current level.

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, said that the war against the Islamic Republic will end very soon and the United States will achieve a "great victory." He emphasized that the Islamic Republic must be prevented from acquiring nuclear weapons, as otherwise "the entire world will be at risk." Donald Trump added that if Iran obtains such a weapon, Israel will be destroyed within minutes, and for this reason, Tehran must not be allowed to reach military nuclear capability. The President of the United States stated that preventing this process was an action that previous presidents should have taken years ago. He added that this issue has continued for "40 or 47 years" and no one has taken action on it. Donald Trump said the United States had to change course and prevent this from happening, emphasizing: "We have done something great."

    Iranian media reported on Sunday that Abbas Araghchi, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, arrived in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, on Sunday evening.

    He had met with senior officials in Pakistan on Saturday and then traveled to Oman. The IRNA news agency states that Araghchi went to the capital of Pakistan after a one-day trip to Oman.

    Araghchi's return to Islamabad comes at a time when on Saturday, Donald Trump, the President of the United States, canceled his representatives' trip to Pakistan and stated that if Iran wants an agreement, it can contact his administration. This action by Trump has dimmed hopes for an agreement between the U.S. and Iran. He then mentioned that after the cancellation of this trip, Iran presented a "better proposal" for an agreement, but he deemed this proposal as "not sufficient."

    On the other hand, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic announced on his Telegram channel that he had a phone conversation with his Saudi counterpart. The statement mentioned that Abbas Araghchi and Faisal bin Farhan discussed "the latest regional developments and ongoing diplomatic processes."

    The Shargh newspaper reported that while nearly 60 days have passed since the widespread internet shutdown, the Islamic Republic is transforming the internet from a public and citizen right into a purchasable privilege.

    Shargh has reported the approval of "Pro Internet" by governmental institutions and emphasized that this plan has been approved by higher authorities under new names such as "Pro Internet" and "Stable Internet," with its implementation entrusted to the National Cyberspace Center.

    The newspaper described this process as "quiet and unobtrusive" and considers it a sign of a structural change in the government's perspective on the internet.

    According to this report, even among Pro Internet users, access is not uniform. The manager of a knowledge-based company stated that he only has access to services related to his work and cannot use filtered social networks, while a university professor mentioned that he has no restrictions.

    Shargh views these experiences as indicative of a classification within classification.

    Following an incident during the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, Donald Trump's Secret Service agents evacuated him from the event. Reports indicate that he and his wife are in good health.

    At the same time, after reports of gunfire on one of the upper floors of the Washington Hilton hotel—where the event was held—the evacuation of the building began. A Fox News host stated that the sound of gunfire did not seem to have originated from the main hall of the event. So far, there have been no reports of injuries among the attendees. CNN also reported that members of the U.S. government are safe.

    On Saturday night, May 5th, the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner at the Washington Hilton turned into a scene of panic and chaos due to gunfire. As Donald Trump and his wife Melania had just entered the hall, the sound of several consecutive shots prompted Secret Service agents to quickly remove the President from the scene.

    As senior officials, including J.D. Vance, Pete Hegseth, and Marco Rubio, were evacuated, armed special guard forces entered the hall fully equipped and took positions on stage. Video footage released from inside the hall shows journalists and prominent guests taking cover under tables amid shouts of "Get down on the ground!" Eyewitnesses reported hearing 5 to 8 shots near the CBS journalists' table.

    Although initial reports indicate the arrest of a suspect, details about the shooter's exact motive and potential casualties have not yet been released. The White House stated that the President and his companions are well and have been moved to a safe location.

    The shooting incident at the official journalists' dinner in Washington involving the U.S. President, which occurred on Saturday night, May 5th, ended with the arrest of the assailant, the wounding of a security officer, and the disruption of the event.

    During Donald Trump's attendance at the annual media gala in Washington on Saturday evening, gunfire erupted. This was the first time Trump attended this dinner since becoming President in 2016.

    The armed individual, later identified as Cole Thomas Allen, a 31-year-old teacher from California, was arrested at a security checkpoint just outside the hotel ballroom where hundreds of guests had gathered.

    According to CNN, the assailant had entered the event as a guest, which was held at a hotel near the White House. As Donald Trump was quickly exiting the scene and security teams were moving through the invited guests at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, chaotic scenes unfolded, and people took cover under tables.

    The incident occurred during the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington, following a welcome speech and at the beginning of dinner, before it was Trump's turn to speak.

    It seems that Trump administration officials were evacuated first, and there is still ambiguity about what exactly happened. Initially, the organizers told guests that the White House Correspondents' Association dinner would continue despite the incident, but they later announced that the event had been postponed.

    Update: The President of the United States confirmed moments ago that there was gunfire at the 2026 White House Correspondents' Association dinner.

    Mr. Trump wrote in a message on the social media platform Truth Social, "A special night in Washington D.C. The Secret Service and law enforcement did an outstanding job. They acted quickly and bravely. The shooter has been apprehended."

    He stated, "I suggested that we let the event continue, but the decision will be entirely based on the judgment of law enforcement."

    Mr. Trump added, "They will decide soon. Regardless of that decision, the night will be very different from what was planned, and we will have to reschedule it."

    In another post, Trump stated: "Law enforcement, per protocol, has asked us to leave the venue, and we will do so immediately. I will hold a press conference in the White House briefing room in 30 minutes. The First Lady, along with the Vice President and all cabinet members, are in good health. We will talk to you in half an hour. I have spoken with all the representatives responsible for this event, and it will be rescheduled within the next 30 days."

    Trump: There is severe internal conflict and confusion among their "leadership"

    Trump's post, machine translation:
    I just canceled my representatives' trip to Islamabad, Pakistan, to meet with the Iranians. A lot of time is wasted on travel; there is so much work left to do! Besides, there is severe internal conflict and confusion among their "leadership." No one knows who is in charge, not even themselves. Moreover, we hold all the cards, and they have no cards to play! If they want to talk, all they have to do is call!!!
    President Donald J. Trump

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, confirmed in an interview with Axios the cancellation of Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner's trip to Islamabad, stating: "I see no reason to send them on an 18-hour flight under the current circumstances of negotiations. It's too long. We can easily talk on the phone. If the Iranians want, they can contact us. We will not travel just to sit there."

    Trump further responded to whether the decision not to send negotiators means the start of war again, saying: "No, it doesn't mean that. We haven't thought about it yet."

    Donald Trump announced that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will no longer travel to Pakistan for discussions with the Islamic Republic. In an interview with Fox News, Trump stated that when the U.S. has "all the leverage" against the Islamic Republic, an 18-hour flight by the American delegation to Pakistan is not worth it. He added that Islamic Republic officials can contact the U.S. whenever they want.

    He said, "I just told my people who were ready to go, no, you are not going to take an 18-hour flight to go there. We have all the leverage. They can contact us whenever they want, but there will be no more 18-hour flights to sit down and talk about nothing."

    This news came shortly after Pakistani officials announced that Abbas Araghchi left Islamabad for Muscat, Oman, after meeting with the Prime Minister and the Army Chief of the country.

    Mahdieh Esfandiari, an Iranian citizen who was imprisoned in France on charges of "glorifying terrorism" and was recently returned to Iran, said in a television program: "There was no such thing as halal food in prison, and I had to eat only vegetables for 237 days."

    She added: "Hijab was prohibited in prison, and for that reason, I preferred to stay in solitary confinement and not go out."

    One of Esfandiari's charges was supporting Hamas's armed attack, a group backed by the Islamic Republic, against Israel.
