And Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps warned it could strike at Israel again and that a U.S.-Iran meeting being planned tomorrow in Pakistan could be called off.
But as I speak to you this morning, Emirati fighter jets are still patrolling the skies here.
The region is on edge and this ceasefire is hardly holding.
You know, when the ceasefire was announced, Iran's foreign minister said the safe passage of ships through the strait would be possible in coordination with Iran's armed forces.
But yesterday, after Israel attacked some hundred areas of Lebanon, the Revolutionary Guard of Iran threatened it wouldn't be.
Now, what we know from maritime intelligence firm Windward was that five ships transited through the strait yesterday.
That's less than half of what transited the day before.
And if these talks actually do take place in Pakistan, each side is coming with high demands, Leila.
The U.S., Israel, and Gulf partners want Iran to stop nuclear enrichment, pause its ballistic missile production, and support to groups like Hezbollah and open that strait fully.
Iran, on its part, wants compensation for the war, sanctions lifted.
says its missiles are a red line, and maintains that it has a right to enrichment.
So if these talks take place tomorrow in Pakistan, it's as Israel and Iran each say they, quote, have their finger on the trigger, and with each side, including President Trump, claiming victory going into these talks.
High, high stakes.
Thank you.
Saif al-Islam al-Gaddafi was assassinated in his home in the city of Zintan, according to statements by his lawyer and political team.
The public prosecutor's office also confirmed he was shot dead, saying an investigation is looking into identifying the assailants.
The 53-year-old, who'd studied in London and received his Ph.D.
there, was the highest-profile son of Muammar Gaddafi, who ruled Libya for more than 40 years until his killing in a 2011 Arab Spring uprising that turned into a civil war.
Libya remains divided by rival governments in its east and west.
Saif al-Islam was wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes of murder and persecution allegedly committed in the uprising.
