Iran US War LIVE: Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has landed in Russia to meet President Vladimir Putin and discuss the status of negotiations, state media reported, after meeting key mediators in Pakistan and Oman this weekend. Araghchi said earlier it was not clear if Washington is “truly serious about diplomacy” after US President Donald Trump scrapped plans for his envoys to visit Pakistan. Fighting and political signalling continue across multiple fronts, with no immediate sign of de-escalation despite renewed diplomatic outreach.

Five latest developments:

Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon continued despite a US-brokered ceasefire, with at least 14 people reported killed, including two children.
Donald Trump said Iranian leaders “can come to us, or they can call us” if they want talks, a day after cancelling a planned visit by US envoys to Pakistan.
Hezbollah claimed multiple attacks on Israeli troops, saying the strikes were in response to what it called ongoing ceasefire violations.
Tensions remain high in the Strait of Hormuz, with Iranian lawmaker Ali Nikzad saying Tehran will not allow a return to pre-war conditions.
Diplomatic efforts are intensifying, with Iran engaging regional and international actors, including Russia, in a push to contain the conflict.
