There's still radio silence from Iranian officials about whether they will go to Islamabad for a second round of high-level, high-stakes negotiations. But with every hour that passes, there is a growing sense that the talks will take place. The Iranians have to make their point. The Iranian media said...

that the Iranian officials hadn't actually made a decision about going as long as the US naval blockade was in force. And when we speak to officials here, they say they have their reservations about this negotiating process, even though President Trump continues to talk about great progress, a deal even within days. There is still concern here that the way the negotiations are taking place tend to be demands made of the Iranians that they are not ready to make.

Israeli prime minister was quick to come out with his comments in English on his ex account. I think understanding very well the international damage that this could do, this photo that's been shared widely on social media over the past couple of days.

help the Christian community there to repair this statue, the foreign minister of Israel, Gideon Saar, came out and said that he apologized for this incident and to every Christian who had been hurt by it and their feelings. So you can see that this has really sort of, you know, had a big effect and that the local priest there told the BBC in Beirut that this was a desecration.

Heidän puolustusjärjestelmänsä sanotaan, että hän ei ole vastuullinen, jota he välttävät. Mutta 21-vuotias kappaleiden puolustusjärjestelmässä on myös monia seksuaalisia tehtäviä, joissa kappaleen järjestelmä on muuttunut. Puolustusjärjestelmässä on myös kappaleen järjestelmä, jossa kappaleen järjestelmä on muuttunut 14-vuotias kappaleen järjestelmään.

Israel now says it has killed the nephew of Naim Qassan. He's the leader of Hezbollah in Lebanon. He's the personal secretary as well in the organization. To Iran this will again emphasize that this ceasefire is being violated and it will again test terrorism.

just how committed it is to at least keeping the pretense of a ceasefire alive, that it can continue with what are expected to be talks with the United States at a high level in Islamabad over the weekend. How much pressure are the Americans, is Donald Trump under at the moment, to open the Strait of Hormuz and to bring down the global price of oil, to keep this ceasefire in place?

Well, first of all on J.D. Vance. He said that this is a misunderstanding of Iran. Lebanon was never part of the deal. But yet if you go back to that post on social media of the Pakistani prime minister, Shabaz Sharif, and it has emerged that the United States played a role, it seems, in drafting a tweet, which was very much in the style of President Trump. It talked about an immediate ceasefire everywhere, including Lebanon and elsewhere, and in capital letters, effective immediately. So it wasn't the original announcement.

Toisaalta J.D. Bandt sanoo, että miksi Iran tekee niin paljon lebanilaisuutta, joka ei ole mitään liikaa Iranin kanssa, mutta tietenkin se on kaikki liikaa Iranin kanssa. Se ei voida nähdä, että Iran jätetään yksi tärkeä yhdistys, jota se teki tämän maan, jotta se auttaisi sen Israelin vastaan.

Ja Yhdysvaltain, joka sanoi, että se on yksi näistä 10-pointin suunnitelmista, joita presidentti Trump sanoi, että se on hyvä basis for negotiations. Ja kyllä, Hormo, kuten sinä kuulet, ja meidän kuulijoillemme voivat olla kuullut osa sitä kysymystä, että Saeb Khatibzadeh, puheenjohtaja,

Suomalainen ministeri. Iran tekee sen täysin selvästi. Tämä on heidän rauhassaan. Tämä ei ole vain yksi asia Yhdysvalloissa. Yvette Cooper, Ruotsin puheenjohtaja, kutsuu nyt Iranin avaamiseen Hormoonin rauhasta.

Prime Minister Netanyahu in his first response to the ceasefire announcement said that Israel agreed to cease its attacks against Iran, but not against Hezbollah. But he also added, we're not done yet with Iran. And this is the point that Iran keeps making and why initially it didn't agree to a ceasefire, because it doesn't want to keep going ahead.

It doesn't want the kind of ceasefire that was in Lebanon, which was then immediately violated, the ceasefire in Gaza, which was then immediately violated. It wants a permanent end to this war. And whether or not President Trump will do as he did ending the 12-day war against Iran in 2025, he said to Prime Minister Netanyahu, stop. This war has now ended. Will he do it again? He hasn't yet, but he could.

In the last 24 hours it says 25 vessels pass through the strait, which is an international shipping route that would normally see 150 vessels a day. There have been over 25 attacks on vessels in the strait, and there are some 20,000 trapped seafarers on some 2,000 trapped ships. We have seen Iran hijack an international shipping route to hold the global economy hostage.

So, was the virtual meeting in London looking for a diplomatic solution? Here's our chief international correspondent, Lise Doucette. Yes, and as they do it, we've just heard this political ping-pong across the Atlantic. President Trump in his speech last night said, well, it's up to you countries, and it's easy to open up the Strait of Hormuz, which it's not. And hence that rebuke.

from President Macron of France, and you can really tell how they're changing their language to President Trump. He has changed what was a war of choice for the United States into a war of necessity for so many countries, including these 35 or so countries, over 40 now they're saying.

who are meeting virtually, foreign ministers, to discuss how to open the Strait of Hormuz. But the view is, and it's clear in what Sir Keir Stommer said yesterday, that they would look at it militarily, and there is now a report that after this meeting the military planners will look at it, but only once there is a ceasefire.

They don't want to get dragged into a war which would be very costly and very risky. But how do you find ways to open it up? Well, the strait is open for those countries who are negotiating with Iran. So Indian flag tankers, Pakistani flag tankers, they are getting through smaller numbers.

The Philippines have announced. The Philippines, yes. So people are going to Iran. And it underlines that only politically can you find a way out. And for the countries who are not siding with Iran in this war or have been providing bases, etc., they can only wait until the war is over. Hence the frustration with President Trump. He didn't make it clear last night when it will end. And just briefly, what sort of message then do you think is being sent by this meeting?

Least you said. Least you said.
