South Korea's presidential office said Seoul will pursue ROK‑US military cooperation and diplomatic efforts on the situation in the Strait of Hormuz.

IRIB said on Sunday Iran army chief Amir Hatami announced a $30,000 bounty for capturing or killing US service members. The broadcaster said the payment will be made to any Iranian soldier acting "from the Iranian people".

Iran foreign ministry spokesman Baghaei said Washington's breach of the June 18 memorandum signed in Tehran has rendered the 60-day timeframe for sanctions-relief and nuclear talks "completely meaningless." He said the memorandum contained no explicit 60-day clause and the period could have been extended if negotiations failed to reach agreement. Baghaei added talks never started because the US "seriously and extensively" violated the pact weeks after signing.
