Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian has said the US naval siege of Iranian ports amounts to an “extension of military operations” by Washington and is “intolerable”.
But US President Donald Trump has warned Tehran that “we might need” to restart war with Iran, and added that “nobody knows what the talks are except myself and a couple of other people”.
Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency reported that air defence activity heard in Tehran was part of efforts to counter “small aircraft and reconnaissance drones”.
Meanwhile Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon have killed more than 30 people in a single day, Lebanon’s National News Agency reports, further undermining the US-backed “ceasefire” between the Lebanese government and Israel.
Israel said it will transfer 175 activists from the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla, who were detained by Israeli forces in international waters, to Greek authorities amid international criticism of Israel’s actions more than 1,000km (620 miles) from the war-torn Palestinian territory.–Al Jazeera
