Says Iran Requested Continuation of Talks, US Agreed"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said on Friday that the United States had agreed to hold talks with Iran after Tehran requested the continuation of negotiations, while warning that the June ceasefire between the two countries had ended.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Islamic Republic of Iran has asked us to continue \u2018talks.\u2019 We have agreed to do so, but the United States has stated to them, in no uncertain terms, that the Cease Fire is OVER!\u201d Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The United States and Iran exchanged strikes this week, with Iranian armed forces launching attacks on US military infrastructure in Gulf states on Thursday following American strikes on Iran\u2019s southern coastal and eastern provinces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two countries reached an interim agreement last month aimed at ending a four-month conflict that had disrupted global energy supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump\u2019s failure to end the war has reportedly frustrated the US president, whose Republican Party is facing midterm elections later this year amid rising fuel prices and voter dissatisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Qatar Urges US, Iran to Honour Agreement and Protect Strait of Hormuz<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Qatar has urged the United States and Iran to honour their memorandum of understanding and continue dialogue to prevent further escalation, according to Al Jazeera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani said in a post on X that he made the appeal during a phone conversation with Egypt\u2019s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also stressed the importance of maintaining freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, warning that ensuring safe passage through the strategic waterway was crucial for regional security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">IRGC Commander Vows Revenge for \u2018Cowardly Assassination\u2019 of Supreme Leader<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The top commander of Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has vowed retaliation against the United States and Israel over the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, saying the incident would not be erased from historical memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Al Jazeera, Brigadier-General Ahmad Vahidi called for the \u201cfull realisation of justice and a fitting response to the criminals, especially the child-killing American army.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe criminal leaders of America and all enemies of the Islamic Revolution and the Resistance Front must know that by the cowardly assassination of this divine leader they will never \u2026 bring the flag of resistance to the ground,\u201d Vahidi said in a statement carried by Sepah news agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that avenging the martyrs and punishing those responsible would remain a \u201cdefinitive, legitimate and unforgettable demand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vahidi\u2019s remarks came after Khamenei was buried in his hometown of Mashhad on Thursday, four months after he and four members of his family were killed in US-Israeli air strikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the Secretary of Iran\u2019s Supreme National Security Council said in a post carried by Fars news agency that retaliation would be carried out against attacks on infrastructure, adding that \u201cthe criminal Zionist regime will not be safe from the response of the fighters either.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">US Pauses Iran Strikes to Allow Diplomacy, CNN Reports<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diplomatic efforts are underway behind the scenes to reduce tensions in the US-Iran conflict, CNN reported on Friday, citing US officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One US official said Washington had been carrying out strikes and then pausing operations to prevent escalation and allow diplomacy to continue, while maintaining a target list as leverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several officials reportedly said preparations had been made for possible US strikes if required, but diplomacy was currently being given priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

pilots conducted training exercises in preparation for potential strike missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The carrier\u2019s captain informed thousands of sailors onboard that regional tensions were increasing and emphasised the need to remain prepared, as is standard procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside strike preparations, fighter pilots continued routine defensive operations, carrying out sorties during both day and night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">US officials said Iranian claims that additional US strikes had already taken place that night were inaccurate. However, they added that the situation remained fluid and strikes could resume if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maritime Threat Level in Strait of Hormuz Remains \u2018Severe\u2019: UK Agency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The maritime security threat level in the Strait of Hormuz remains \u201csevere\u201d following recent attacks on commercial vessels, the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a notice issued by its Joint Maritime Information Center, UKMTO said the southern route through the strategic waterway had been expanded and remained open to all maritime traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNotwithstanding recent unprovoked attacks on merchant vessels, mariners are reminded that the southern route of the Strait of Hormuz has been expanded and remains available for all traffic,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agency advised vessels operating in the area to expect radio communication through very high frequency channels from naval forces and remain alert for a designated mine-danger area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Egypt, Qatar Call for Efforts to Contain Regional Tensions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The foreign ministers of Egypt and Qatar on Friday called for efforts to contain rising regional tensions and prevent the conflict from expanding, Egypt\u2019s Foreign Ministry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani discussed recent regional developments during a phone call as part of continued coordination between the two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ministers highlighted the need to reduce tensions, prevent further escalation and prioritise diplomacy and dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They called on all parties to return to negotiations to implement the memorandum of understanding signed between the United States and Iran, describing it as a step toward reaching a final agreement that could help reduce tensions and enhance regional security and stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abdelatty also renewed Egypt\u2019s condemnation of recent attacks targeting several Gulf states and Jordan, stressing the importance of respecting the sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of those countries and all Gulf states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Global Oil Supply Recovers as Hormuz Shipments Resume: IEA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Global oil supply recorded its largest monthly increase in several months in June as the resumption of shipments through the Strait of Hormuz boosted Gulf production, although output remained below pre-war levels due to continuing security disruptions, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agency raised its oil supply and demand forecasts, citing improving market conditions following the US-Iran framework agreement, while warning that ongoing geopolitical risks in the Gulf continued to affect market stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the IEA\u2019s latest Oil Market Report, global oil production remained around 9.4 million barrels per day below levels recorded before the US-Israel-Iran war despite a sharp recovery in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report stated that oil supply from Gulf producers increased by around 3.5 million barrels per day during June after output partially recovered following the framework agreement between Washington and Tehran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, intermittent disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz continued due to security concerns and reliance on US naval escorts, leaving regional oil production around 11.4 million barrels per day below pre-war levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Production from the OPEC+ group, consisting of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies, increased by around 2.45 million barrels per day in June to 38.39 million barrels per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saudi Arabia contributed approximately 900,000 barrels per day of the increase, while Kuwait added around 630,000 barrels per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Non-OPEC+ production rose by around 1.63 million barrels per day to 60.37 million barrels per day, with the United Arab Emirates accounting for more than half of the increase at approximately 940,000 barrels per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LNG Tankers Resume Strait of Hormuz Transit Despite Fighting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Liquefied natural gas (LNG) tankers and other commercial vessels have continued to pass through the Strait of Hormuz despite renewed military exchanges between Iran and the United States and attacks on merchant shipping in the strategic waterway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At least five LNG carriers travelling without cargo entered the strait in recent days, according to ship-tracking data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vessels included GasLog Shanghai, operated by Greek shipping company GasLog, along with four QatarEnergy-linked carriers: Al Samriya, Al Dafna, Al Gattara and Al Rayyan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The movements indicate that some LNG operators are returning empty vessels to the Persian Gulf to load new shipments despite heightened security risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Japan\u2019s Transport Minister Yasushi Kaneko said 22 Japan-linked vessels exited the Strait of Hormuz between July 7 and July 9, including six large crude oil tankers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maritime intelligence company Windward recorded 35 vessel crossings on July 8, including 17 inbound and 18 outbound transits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inbound traffic consisted of six tankers, two bulk carriers and nine general cargo vessels, while outbound traffic included five tankers, five bulk carriers and eight cargo vessels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most ships used the northern corridor closer to Iran. Windward said 11 of the 35 vessels operated without transmitting Automatic Identification System (AIS) signals during the monitoring period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company reported that 861 cargo and tanker vessels remained in the Persian Gulf at its latest assessment, with 112 vessels operating without AIS signals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commercial shipping risks have increased following Iranian attacks on vessels passing through the strait, which led to new US strikes on targets inside Iran. Tehran later launched attacks on US-linked targets in Bahrain and Kuwait, effectively ending the ceasefire reached last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The United States also revoked a 60-day waiver allowing Iranian oil sales, restoring full sanctions enforcement as Iran\u2019s crude exports were estimated at around 1 million barrels per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Windward said approximately 24 tankers were waiting near Iran\u2019s Kharg Island export terminals, with most believed to be fully loaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world\u2019s most important energy routes, carrying oil and LNG exports from major Gulf producers, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Qatar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said on Friday that the United States had agreed to hold talks with Iran after Tehran requested the continuation of negotiations, while warning that the&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5683,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[100,57,165,154],"class_list":["post-5682","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-donald-trump","tag-iran","tag-middle-east-tensions","tag-us-iran-tensions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
