Iranian sea mines believed to be under the Strait of Hormuz are preventing the waterway from fully opening. Defence analyst Andreas Krieg explains why it will be exceptionally difficult for the US Navy to clear them.
Israel’s ambassador to the US has held talks with his Lebanese counterpart. But as a pro-settler 'activist' and former soldier who took part in invading Lebanon, critics say Yechiel Leiter is a problematic negotiator. Al Jazeera's Nada Qaddourah explains.
Peru’s conservative presidential candidate Rafael Lopez Aliaga is urging officials to declare Sunday’s general election 'null and void’ after he alleged rigging, without providing evidence.
US Vice President JD Vance was heckled during a speech where he said Pope Leo should ‘be careful’ when speaking about theology. An audience member shouted, ‘Jesus Christ does not support genocide.’ The event in Athens, Georgia, was hosted by Turning Point USA, a conservative group whose founder Charlie Kirk was murdered last year.
A new trial has begun in Argentina over the death of football legend Diego Maradona. Seven members of his medical team are accused of negligence and could face up to 25 years in prison if convicted.

The United States says a new round of negotiations with Iran could take place within days, according to President Donald Trump. Pakistan has reportedly offered to host the talks again after recent discussions in Islamabad failed to produce a breakthrough.
Meanwhile, US Vice President JD Vance says the current ceasefire is holding and described recent negotiations as constructive, despite decades of mistrust between the two sides. He added that the US is seeking a broader agreement, including limits on Iran’s nuclear ambitions, in exchange for economic normalization.

After the first direct talks in decades, Israel and Lebanon have agreed to begin ongoing negotiations for the ‘security of both countries’. Al Jazeera’s Mike Hanna explains why US Secretary of State Marco Rubio sees this ‘milestone’ meeting as just the ‘start of the process’.
US Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, say they will keep forcing votes in the Senate to limit President Donald Trump’s war on Iran. They’ve repeatedly failed to pass resolutions calling for Congressional approval and oversight of the war. Trump’s fellow Republicans hold slim majorities in Congress.
Community kitchens known as tekayas have become a lifeline in Sudan as fighting between the army and the Rapid Support Forces disrupts access to food. At an Omdurman hospital, volunteers feed patients and neighbours, but soaring prices have forced many to scale back; Islamic Relief says over 40% shut in past six months. One kitchen has gone from three meals a day to one, with gaps of three to four days. Aid agencies warn that without funding, millions face hunger.

Palestinians in Gaza recorded bloodied victims of an Israeli strike on the Shati refugee camp being rushed to a medical facility. Several people were killed in the Tuesday night attack.
Crowds from the Bangladeshi community in Barcelona celebrated the approval of a mass amnesty programme which will regularise over half a million migrants in Spain. The programme paves the way for migrants in the country without authorisation to apply for legal status.
Surveillance footage shows the moment a teenage gunman opened fire with shotgun inside a high school in Turkiye’s Siverek on Tuesday. The attack wounded 16 people. The suspect, identified as a former student, later died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
In this episode of This is America, hosted by Anna Burns‑Francis, Al Jazeera looks ahead to the final days of the US–Iran ceasefire and asks what really comes next after 21 hours of high‑stakes talks in Islamabad collapsed with no deal.
Alan Fisher joins us from the White House to unpack the Trump administration’s red lines and political calculations. He explains how the president’s insistence that “Iran will not have a nuclear weapon” collides with a deep reluctance to be drawn into a long, messy negotiation that could mirror – or exceed – the two‑year process that produced the 2015 nuclear deal. Alan explores the tension between an expectation in Washington that Iran should now “capitulate”, and an Iranian view that it has not been defeated, will not surrender sovereign rights and wants to bargain rather than accept a take‑it‑or‑leave‑it demand to terminate its nuclear programme forever.
From the State Department, Mike Hanna reports on how diplomatic norms have been upended. Instead of the traditional model where the Secretary of State leads, the vice president has been elevated as chief negotiator. Mike shows how Islamabad’s failure exposed the gap between maximalist opening positions and any realistic landing zone, and what sidelining the professional diplomatic machinery means for American credibility as mediators in Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey scramble to keep the door to further talks open.
Rosalind Jordan presents a detailed package on the military and strategic options now on the table. She explains the launch of a US naval blockade of Iranian ports and a partial blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, even as Iran maintains its own restrictions on the chokepoint. Rosalind lays out scenarios ranging from renewed limited strikes and broader bombing campaigns to potential operations against Kharg Island – Iran’s main oil terminal – and even ground moves to seize enriched uranium stockpiles. She highlights the risks: possible US casualties, regional escalation, legal challenges over “piracy” at sea and the danger that Washington appears to be “re‑opening” a vital waterway by closing it further.
In the studio, former US Ambassador and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Richard Schmierer and former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense David Sedney join Anna Burns‑Francis to map the broader strategic picture. Schmierer looks at why a single 21‑hour meeting was never likely to resolve decades of mistrust and sanctions, and why any durable settlement will require phased steps on nuclear limits, sanctions relief and regional behaviour. Sedney focuses on the downside of renewed war: severe shocks to energy and fertiliser supplies, knock‑on effects for semiconductor production, rising inflation and the risk that a conflict entered without a clear exit plan further damages US alliances while leaving control of Hormuz contested for years.
Heidi Zhou‑Castro examines the domestic and economic fallout. Reporting from Washington, she tracks growing unease over what some analysts call an “escalation trap”: a dual blockade of Hormuz that could deepen the largest energy disruption in modern times, drive up costs for households and fuel political anger at a war most Americans already oppose. Heidi shows how partisan media frame the choice between “finishing the job” against Iran and backing away from maximalist demands that may be impossible to enforce without a far bigger conflict.
Finally, Alex Baird surveys the media and online debate as the ceasefire clock ticks down. He tracks hawkish calls for renewed strikes and even an invasion of key Iranian sites, more cautious voices urging an extension of the truce and a return to back‑channel diplomacy, and sceptical commentary warning that a blockade layered on a blockade could backfire strategically. As headlines, satire and social media collide, Alex shows how public confusion over blockades, red lines and deadlines reflects a deeper uncertainty about what the administration’s endgame really is.
This is America asks whether the United States will choose a risky return to war, an uneasy long negotiation, or a mix of pressure and phased compromise – and whether, in the final week of the ceasefire, there is still time to move from collapsing talks and competing blockades toward a more stable path away from the brink.

With the US military blockade of Iranian ports now in force, global energy markets are already reacting. Al Jazeera’s Marah Rayan breaks down why it's deepening an energy crisis that is driving up costs for everyone.
The US military says no ships have passed its blockade of Iran's southern coast over the past 24 hours.
It says six merchant vessels complied with their orders to turn around.
Hundreds of vessels remain stuck, concerned by threats of attack and sea mines laid by Iran.
The US military says it's working to support freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz from non-Iranian ports.
Alexandru Hudisteanu is a military and diplomatic analyst with expertise in maritime security. He explains how the blockade is being enforced beyond the Strait of Hormuz and highlights the need to monitor ship movements in the coming days to assess its impact. Safe passage for commercial vessels remains uncertain.

Now, the United States is the one shutting the Strait of Hormuz, even as President Donald Trump was calling for it to reopen just a few days ago. He said ships entering or leaving Iranian ports would be stopped by the navy after talks between Tehran and Washington fell apart.
However, this is not just about a blockade. Iran is tightening its grip on the strait, demanding the right to impose tolls on ships passing through it.
The ripple effects could go beyond energy and trade flows, challenging the dominance of the US dollar in global shipping.

Video captured the moment a drone exploded in northern Israel’s Nahariya, about 10 kilometres from the Lebanese border. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
Already fraught, the relationship between the US and the Vatican is getting worse.
It's the result of an unusual public exchange between President Donald Trump and Pope Leo.
The leader of the Roman Catholic Church spoke out against the Iran war, drawing a backlash from the US leader.
But Pope Leo has remained defiant, saying he isn't afraid of the Trump administration.
It's not the first time the White House has been on the receiving end of criticism from the Vatican.
So, is this political interference or a moral duty to speak out?
And what are the consequences?
Presenter: Folly Bah Thibault
Guests:
Cornel West -- Professor and Dietrich Bonhoeffer Chair at the Union Theological Seminary
Adolfo Franco -- US Republican strategist
Christopher White -- Vatican journalist and author of a book on Pope Leo

Former Israeli negotiator Daniel Levy warns that ongoing Israel-Lebanon talks lack genuine diplomatic intent, instead functioning as a "performative" effort. He argues Israel's approach imposes "humiliating terms" on Lebanon, further straining its fragile state. Levy also links the talks to broader US-Iran de-escalation efforts.

China has condemned the US naval blockade as “dangerous and irresponsible” after President Donald Trump threatened to sink boats entering or leaving Iranian ports. Beijing also warned of “countermeasures” if Trump follows through on new tariff threats.
Qatar has urged all parties to preserve the US-Iran ceasefire and work towards a permanent agreement, warning against renewed escalation in the region.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari said at his weekly press briefing in Doha that Qatar is maintaining close coordination with regional and international partners, including the UK, France, Turkiye, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iran, Spain and Portugal.
He stressed the need for a comprehensive solution addressing underlying tensions, not just a temporary truce, and called for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, warning of global economic and energy risks if disruption continues.
Al-Ansari said Qatar is "fully supportive" of Pakistan's mediation efforts following the collapse of weekend talks in Islamabad, while confirming that Qatar is not currently playing a direct mediating role. On the US naval blockade, he said Qatar has not been able to use the strait normally since the war began, adding that "what is happening right now is certainly not conducive to ending the blockade."
He dismissed reports of financial arrangements with Iran as "completely false" and aimed at "tarnishing the reputation of my country."
Al-Ansari also confirmed that Qatar is continuing its mediation efforts between the DRC government and M23 rebels in coordination with Switzerland.

Pakistan is playing a mediating role alongside regional actors, including Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Qatar and China.
