US President Donald Trump has claimed that negotiations with Iran are moving at a 'rapid pace' despite significant tensions arising from Iran's Revolutionary Guards warning of new military fronts. Iran's Tasnim news agency reported that Tehran has suspended talks with mediators, citing Israel's expanding military offensive in Lebanon as the cause. Trump asserted that he had persuaded both Hezbollah and Israel to de-escalate the conflict, even as Israel intensified its operations. The US has supported Israel's actions while simultaneously seeking to negotiate an end to the war that began in late February, which includes reopening the crucial Strait of Hormuz. Iran has maintained that it will not engage in nuclear negotiations until Israel halts its offensive in Lebanon. The situation remains precarious, with the US military conducting strikes on Iranian sites and Iran threatening to activate additional fronts in response to perceived threats. The UN Secretary-General has expressed alarm over the escalating military activities in the region.
