Iran’s ISNA news agency says mediated discussions between Tehran and Washington are ongoing, with the two sides exchanging messages and draft texts in an effort to establish a formal framework for an agreement to end the conflict.
Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Tehran reports that Pakistani officials are engaged in “intense mediation activity”, while a senior Iranian official said a deal was close, though a second Iranian source said it was too early to say whether a final agreement could be reached.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said earlier on Thursday there were “some good signs” for a deal as US President Donald Trump warned of “very drastic” action if Iran does not give up its uranium stockpiles.
Israel said it deported all foreign activists involved in the Gaza aid flotilla.
The move follows a global outcry over the brutal treatment of the activists by Israeli forces and Israel’s ultra-nationalist Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
Israel continued its deadly bombardment of southern Lebanon as the Lebanese Health Ministry expressed outrage after Israeli forces attacked a government hospital, injuring nine people, including several staff members.
