In a move to mediate ongoing tensions, Pakistani officials have suggested a second round of talks between the US and Iran. This comes after US President Donald Trump noted a willingness from Iran to negotiate, aiming for a potential agreement amidst the escalating conflict.

Amidst these diplomatic efforts, Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni announced the suspension of Italy's military partnership with Israel. This decision comes in response to Israel's controversial military actions in Lebanon, which have faced widespread international criticism.
