⚔️ Trump Cancels Planned Strikes on Iran

US President Donald Trump said he has cancelled scheduled strikes against Iran. He stated that talks had reached the highest level of Iranian leadership and were approved. Earlier in the day, he had threatened to hit Iran very hard. Trump added that a naval blockade would remain for now. Iranian officials had not given an immediate response to his announcement, according to reports.

🌍 Settlement Reported, Possible Signing in Europe

Trump told reporters that a settlement to end the war with Iran had been reached. He said documents could be signed over the weekend, possibly in Europe, with Vice President JD Vance attending. Iran's Fars news agency reported the chances of a deal were high. However, Iran's Tasnim agency urged caution, saying Trump had made similar claims before without results.

⚔️ Trump Threatens Then Withdraws Island Plan

Trump first threatened to seize Iran's main oil export hub, Kharg Island, before stepping back. He told Fox News that America may not have the stomach for such an operation. Military analysts said any landing force would face heavy fire and supply problems. Gulf states, which earlier supported US action, have been pushing for a negotiated settlement instead, reports say.

⚔️ US and Iran Exchange Fire for Second Night

The United States and Iran traded fire for a second straight night in the Persian Gulf. Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it struck bases linked to a US presence in the region. Iran's General Staff announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a key energy route. The exchange marked a more dangerous phase of the conflict after a fragile ceasefire reached in April.

⚔️ Tanker Strike Kills Three Indian Crew Members

A commercial tanker was hit in the Gulf of Oman, killing three Indian crew members. The US said the ship failed to follow its blockade of the waterway. Oman launched a rescue operation, and India summoned a US embassy official in New Delhi to protest. Kuwait also said strikes on its territory damaged airport radar and briefly closed its airspace.

🌍 Pakistan Says Mediation Role Continues

Pakistan's Foreign Office said its role as a mediator in the US-Iran conflict was not over. Spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said diplomatic space had shrunk because of renewed fighting. Still, he said cycles of hostilities and dialogue were natural in conflicts. He pointed to recent contacts with Turkey and a visit to Tehran by Pakistan's interior minister as signs of ongoing efforts.

⚔️ Drone Strike Hits Funeral in Sudan

A drone strike hit a funeral procession in el-Obeid, a city on the front line of Sudan's civil war. Rights groups accused the RSF paramilitary group of killing civilians in the attack. El-Obeid has seen repeated fighting between the army and the RSF. The conflict has displaced millions of people across the country since it began, according to humanitarian organizations.

💰 Pakistan's Economy Grows 3.7 Percent

Pakistan reported economic growth of three point seven percent for the past fiscal year. Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb said this was the fastest in four years but below the target of four point two percent. Large-scale manufacturing rose, and per capita income increased to about nineteen hundred dollars. He said floods and a regional conflict had tested the country's resilience.

🌍 Pakistan Warns India Over Water Remarks

Pakistan's Foreign Office warned that blocking shared river water could have far-reaching consequences. The warning followed comments by India's water minister, who said no water would flow to Pakistan in coming years. Pakistan said such an act could amount to an act of war under the UN Charter. India has not issued a formal response to Pakistan's statement, according to reports.

🌍 Report Says India Expanding Nuclear Arsenal

A report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute said India is expanding its nuclear arsenal. Pakistan's Foreign Office said the finding was not surprising and matched its long-standing concerns. The spokesperson mentioned new submarines and longer-range missile systems. Pakistan said it did not seek an arms race but would work to maintain strategic stability in South Asia.

🌍 Pakistani Sailors Still Held off Somalia

Pakistan said freeing eleven sailors held by pirates off Somalia remains a high priority. The crew was taken when their tanker was hijacked on April twenty-first. The Foreign Office said the situation was difficult and operationally challenging. Pakistan's deputy prime minister has spoken with Somalia's foreign minister, and both sides agreed to stay in close contact until the matter is resolved.

🌍 Gilgit-Baltistan Election Results Delayed

Officials in Gilgit-Baltistan said final election results would be issued within fourteen days as required by law. The Chief Election Commissioner said collecting results from remote areas was taking time. The PPP gained eleven of twenty-four seats and is set to form a government. A recount was ordered in one constituency after complaints about polling irregularities.

🌍 Tensions Continue in Azad Jammu and Kashmir

Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif urged a now-banned committee to let voters decide the fate of twelve reserved refugee seats. The committee has demanded the seats be abolished. Asif said the issue should be raised in elections set for July twenty-seventh. Tensions rose after protests in which several police and civilians lost their lives, and authorities have sent extra forces.

🌍 Lawyer Warns of Activist's Declining Health

A lawyer for jailed Moroccan activist Ibtissame Lachgar warned that her health is getting worse. She is serving a thirty-month sentence for offending Islam by wearing a t-shirt with a message considered insulting. Her case has drawn attention from rights groups. The lawyer called for closer medical attention to her condition while she remains in custody, according to reports.

🌍 UK Defence Chief Resigns Over Funding

British Defence Secretary John Healey resigned, saying Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Treasury failed to fund the armed forces properly. He warned that a delayed long-term investment plan could leave Britain less safe. The departure adds pressure on Starmer before an important by-election. The government has not yet detailed how it will respond to Healey's concerns, according to reports.

🌱 El Nino Returns, May Reach Record Strength

The US weather agency said the El Nino pattern has arrived again. Scientists expect it to strengthen toward the end of the year, possibly to historic levels. El Nino warms the central and eastern Pacific Ocean and changes winds and rainfall worldwide. Experts fear it could bring droughts, floods, and higher temperatures, and add to global heat already being recorded.

🌪️ Australia Recalls 1996 Black Hawk Disaster

Australia marked the memory of a 1996 disaster in which two Black Hawk helicopters collided during counterterrorism training.
