In a message attributed to him, Mojtaba Khamenei called on the Persian Gulf countries to unite with the Iranian government to fight the US and Israel, while the Israeli energy minister warned that if Tehran resumes its missile and nuclear programs, Israel will attack Iran. Report by Mojtaba Pourmohsen
Al Arabiya correspondent Pierre Ghanem: Trump is not interested in messages from Mojtaba Khamenei, but he believes the difficulty in reaching him was hindering negotiations. The administration is interested in the new leadership appointed by the Supreme Leader because they are more hardline than previous teams.
Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said in an interview with the Argentine newspaper Clarin that the Iranian nuclear negotiations have been halted and that the nuclear file will be a second priority until the situation in the Strait of Hormuz is clarified. Grosi said about the Islamic Republic's nuclear program that uranium is "basically in the same place" as it was during the 12-day war and that nuclear facilities have also been severely damaged. He said that reconstruction of some of the infrastructure may have begun, but there is no solid evidence to confirm it. The Director General of the Agency said that the Islamic Republic's nuclear file remains one of the major unresolved issues and that the Agency is ready to resume its activities in Iran as soon as possible. Grosi added that the Agency is still talking to the United States and the Islamic Republic, but that Islamic Republic officials say that they will not make any progress on the nuclear file until the overall process of negotiations changes. It had.
Rafael Grossi: We are talking to the US and Iran Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency: Nuclear talks have stalled and the situation regarding Iran is at a standstill. Until the fundamental issues - such as the Strait of Hormuz and others - are clarified, the nuclear issue is not a priority; therefore, at the moment, we have no channel for discussion. We are talking to the US and even to Iran. There is a conversation, but it is limited to their position - the Iranian position - that there is no progress until there is overall progress in the negotiations; this is the reality.

Trump: Mojtaba Khamenei was seriously wounded, not killed. I doubt the integrity of Iranian leaders to make a deal. America will achieve a major victory in Iran very soon.

Trump: Mojtaba Khamenei was seriously wounded, but I don't believe he was killed... and the Iranian currency is now almost worthless US President Donald Trump: Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was seriously wounded in his left side, arm, and leg, but I don't believe he was killed. The Iranians are not the most honest group to make a deal with, and our military's performance has been amazing. We will achieve victory very soon. Last night we destroyed 22 boats and are monitoring Iranian movements in the blockade zone. Many of their soldiers are not being paid. Iran has snipers targeting protesters from rooftops, and it's difficult to go out and demonstrate with these people around. Trump: The Iranian currency is now almost worthless, and oil prices are falling very quickly.

CNN: Trump has asked top administration envoys, including JD Vance, Witkoff, and Kushner, to halt their talks with Iran.
The U.S. and Iran are locked in a war of words as strikes continue and any path to a deal remains deeply unclear. • • Jared Kushner says talks are ongoing, but President Trump says no talks are scheduled. The U.S. says its naval blockade remains in place while the Strait of Hormuz is open, a claim Iran denies as it continues firing missiles. • • The Financial Times reports Iran has weighed striking U.S. targets in Europe, including in Cyprus and Bulgaria, adding another potential flashpoint as the region remains caught in a cycle of threats, conflicting statements, and strikes. | @TreyYingst
