Iranian state media said Tehran has suspended mediator-led negotiations and
document exchanges with the United States, citing Israeli strikes on Lebanon and
ceasefire violations across multiple fronts. Iran and the Axis of Resistance
said they will fully block the Strait of Hormuz and open other fronts, including
the Mandeb Strait, to punish Israel and its supporters. Iranian officials
demanded Israel immediately halt military operations in Gaza and Lebanon and
fully withdraw from occupied areas in Lebanon before talks resume; Iran said it
will not negotiate until those conditions are met.
