Five coffins, three sons and one conspicuous absence: Iran's week of mourning for Ali Khamenei began with the new supreme leader nowhere in sight.

A mid-June ceasefire between Washington and Tehran is buckling as both sides trade strikes over the Strait of Hormuz.

Washington hit four Iranian targets hours after an IRGC drone damaged a Singapore-flagged ship, straining the 60-day truce meant to reopen Hormuz.

Brent crude fell to $75.79 on Wednesday, its lowest since the eve of the Iran war, as the Strait of Hormuz reopened and Iranian barrels flowed back to market.

For the first time, both chambers of Congress have passed a war powers resolution, telling President Trump to halt the Iran war he launched unless lawmakers authorise it.

A U.S. Treasury licence lets Iran sell oil through August 21, the firmest step yet from the Switzerland talks, even as Washington and Tehran clash over nuclear inspections.

Mediators Qatar and Pakistan say the Bürgenstock talks produced working groups and a Lebanon deconfliction cell, even after Iran's walkout over a Trump threat.

A first round meant to steady a fragile ceasefire broke up within hours after Trump warned he would strike Iran again over Lebanon and the Strait of Hormuz.

The first round of talks under the interim U.S.-Iran truce opened near Lucerne even as Trump warned of fresh strikes and Tehran said it had closed the Strait of Hormuz again.

As Vance met Iran's delegation above Lake Lucerne, Trump threatened to bomb Iran again, and Tehran refused to give ground on uranium enrichment.

Vice President JD Vance's trip to Switzerland was scrubbed and Iran held back its delegation, just two days after a signed ceasefire that the war in Lebanon is already straining.

Pakistan's PM announced the deal and Trump declared it 'complete,' lifting the naval blockade. Iran has not yet confirmed it considers the agreement in force.

The two sides agree a deal is close and agree on almost nothing else, including whether it gets signed on Sunday and who controls the Strait of Hormuz.

U.S. Central Command intercepted multiple Iranian attack drones targeting commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz early Friday, even as Pakistani and U.S. officials said the two countries were within days of finalizing a peace agreement to end the Middle East war.
