Iran war: Live updates

The Boston Globe general

Key Points:

  • Pakistan has lifted all restrictions around the high-security zone in Islamabad after a week-long lockdown, following rare face-to-face talks between Iranian and U.S. delegations aimed at securing a ceasefire.
  • Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi visited Islamabad for indirect talks with Pakistani officials and is expected to travel to Moscow; however, no immediate plans exist for direct U.S.-Iran talks after Washington canceled sending envoys.
  • Israeli military conducted strikes targeting Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon amid recent ceasefire violations, while the conflict has resulted in at least 39 Israeli deaths and thousands of Palestinian casualties since early March.
  • Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s request to halt his corruption trial was delayed by President Herzog, who encouraged a settlement outside the courtroom despite pressure from U.S. President Trump to end the trial.
  • Tensions remain high as Israeli forces killed at least four Palestinians in Gaza, and Iran executed a man convicted of terrorism; meanwhile, Iran insists it will not negotiate while the U.S. maintains a blockade on its ports.
