Iran’s Foreign Ministry accuses the US of violating the ceasefire after CENTCOM strikes, rejecting Washington’s claim of self-defense
US forces carried out strikes in southern Iran on Monday against targets including boats attempting to lay mines and missile launch sites, in what Washington described as defensive actions. US Central Command said the operation was designed "to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces."
The strikes came as Iran's top negotiator and its foreign minister were in Doha for talks with Qatar's prime minister on a potential deal to end the three-month war, an official briefed on the visit said, after both Washington and Tehran played down hopes of a breakthrough on Monday.
In a post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump said talks with Iran were going "nicely" but warned of fresh attacks if they failed, writing that it "will only be a Great Deal for all, or no Deal at all." Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US would give diplomacy every chance before considering whether to deal with Iran in "another way."
The negotiations hinge on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's nuclear program, and Tehran's demand for the release of tens of billions of dollars in frozen funds. READ MORE FROM MONDAY

Israeli forces target the new leader of Hamas’ military wing, Mohammad Awda, in Gaza
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yisrael Katz announced Tuesday that the IDF carried out a strike in the Gaza Strip targeting Mohammed Awda, identified by Israel as the new head of the military wing of Hamas and a key planner of the October 7 attacks.
According to the statement, Awda served as Hamas’s intelligence chief during the October 7 assault and was appointed roughly a week ago to replace Izz ad-Din al-Haddad, who Israel says was killed in an earlier strike in Gaza about two weeks ago.
Israeli officials accused Awda of responsibility for the killing, kidnapping, and injury of Israeli civilians and soldiers during the October 7 attack.

Marco Rubio: Discussions between Washington and Tehran will continue for several more days
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that negotiations between the United States and Iran on extending the ceasefire and reopening the Strait of Hormuz will take "several more days." Speaking after new US strikes against Iranian targets in the south of the country, Rubio mentioned "numerous exchanges" regarding the wording of the document under discussion. "It will take a few days," he said, assuring that Donald Trump would "not accept a bad deal." Marco Rubio emphasized the need to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without Iran being able to impose taxes on ships transiting this strategic waterway. "The strait must remain open, without obstacles and without tolls," he affirmed.

IDF conducts ground operations in southern Lebanon, north of the ‘Yellow Line’
The Israeli military has expanded its ground operations beyond the existing security zone in parts of southern Lebanon as part of an effort to push Hezbollah fighters farther from the border and reduce the threat of explosive drones targeting northern Israeli communities.
According to Israeli officials, troops are carrying out targeted raids based on intelligence in areas both beyond the forward defense line and north of the Litani River, where Hezbollah is believed to maintain infrastructure and operational positions.
Israeli security officials believe increasing the distance between Hezbollah forces and the border could improve security conditions for residents of northern Israel amid continued cross-border attacks.
The expanded ground activity comes alongside a broader escalation in Israeli air operations. Israeli media reported that the Israeli Air Force struck more than 100 Hezbollah-linked targets across southern Lebanon overnight.
