Iran is yet to decide whether to send a delegation to Pakistan for US talks, a foreign ministry spokesperson has told the BBC. The future of US-Iran talks remains unclear – and the current ceasefire is due to expire today. On his part, US President, Donald Trump, has said he “expects to be bombing” if progress is not made, and suggested he doesn’t want to extend the ceasefire.

Meanwhile, Elias Hazrati, a senior Iranian government communications official, said Iranian negotiators “make decisions collectively and carry out their duties under the direction” of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei. Since his succession to the position of his father in early March, Mojtaba Khamenei is yet to be seen in public or in recent videos and photos.

And in another development, Israel’s military has said Hezbollah fired several rockets at its forces operating in southern Lebanon. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said it attacked the launcher from which the rockets were fired.

Hezbollah is yet to comment. In an update earlier yesterday evening via Telegram, the IDF said its military and air force killed “terrorists” who crossed the defence line in the Al-Qsair area of Lebanon on Monday and yesterday, which it said violated its ceasefire agreement.

Israel and Lebanon are currently in a 10-day ceasefire after six weeks of conflict between Hezbollah and Israel. Lebanese and Israeli representatives are scheduled to meet for a second round of talks tomorrow – according to a US official.
