U.S. intelligence and military officials estimate that Iran still maintains about 40% of its pre-war arsenal of long-range attack drones, as well as 60% of its ballistic and cruise missile launchers, with over 100 systems that were buried inside caves and bunkers as a result of U.S. and Israeli strikes having been recovered since the start of the two-week ceasefire on April 8. In addition, some American estimates assess that Iran could reclaim as much as 70% of its pre-war stockpile of missiles, similarly buried in rubble from attacks on its bunkers and depots, officials tell The New York Times.

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh has stated that no date has been set for the next round of peace negotiations between Iran and the United States, following last weekend’s talks in Islamabad which failed to achieve an agreement, despite claims by U.S. President Donald J. Trump that there would be more direct talks this weekend in Pakistan.

“We are now focusing on finalising ⁠the framework of understanding between two sides. We don't want to enter into any negotiation or meeting which is doomed to fail and which can be a pretext for another round of escalation,” Khatibzadeh told reporters on the sidelines of a diplomacy forum Saturday in Turkey.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump states that his representatives will be leaving soon for Islamabad, Pakistan, to attend the second round of peace negotiations with Iran, expected to take place Monday evening, adding that, “We're offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and I hope they take it because, if they don't, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! They'll come down fast, they'll come down easy and, if they don't take the DEAL, it will be my Honor to do what has to be done, which should have been done to Iran, by other Presidents, for the last 47 years.”

U.S. Vice President JD Vance will lead a delegation, which will once again include Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, for another round of direct peace talks with Iran in Islamabad, Pakistan on Monday, before the current two-week ceasefire is scheduled to end Tuesday, two U.S. officials tell Axios.

According to ABC News, U.S. Vice President JD Vance will not be leading the diplomatic delegation to Islamabad, despite reports from Axios and several other outlets, with President Trump telling Jonathan Karl that the issue is security, the Secret Service couldn’t do it on 24 hours notice. “It’s only because of security. JD’s great.”

Senior U.S. official now tells ABC News that Vice President Vance is going to Islamabad and will be leading the U.S. delegation for talks with Iran.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance will attend the next round of Iran talks in Pakistan along with Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and the President’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, the White House has told CNN, after President Trump told ABC News that Vance would not be attempting the talks in Islamabad. In response to the conflicting messages over the U.S. delegation, a White House official said: “things changed.”

In a phone interview with morning with Fox News’ Trey Yingst, President Donald J. Trump stated regarding this week’s next round of peace talks with Iran in Islamabad, “If they don't sign this deal, the whole country is going to get blown up,” adding that bridges and power plants will be targeted throughout Iran.

Iranians officials are lowering expectations of this week’s talks in Islamabad and appear suspicious that President Trump’s talk of a deal could be cover for a U.S. surprise attack, according to Axios.

Iranian state news agency Tasnim has posted a lengthy statement to X describing what Iran sees as continued U.S. preparations to continue the war while publicly stating they are willing to negotiate. The statement goes on to say that Iran is prepared to "abandon restraints" shown in the first phase of the war to unleash "unforgettable hellish hours right from the outset of renewed conflict with America and Israel" while explicitly stating that the Bab al Mandeb Strait, Saudi Aramco facilities, the port of Yanbu in Saudi Arabia, and the city of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates will all enter the conflict.

Photo currently circulating on social media which appears to show a soldier with the Israel Defense Force striking and destroying a statue of Jesus Christ on the cross using a sledgehammer during recent operations in the Christian town of Debel in Southern Lebanon.

The Israel Defense Force has announced that it is investigating both the veracity of the photo and the incident itself, stating that if the photo is indeed real, “these actions do not align with the IDF's values and the behavior expected of IDF soldiers.”

According to U.S. President Donald J. Trump, the Iranian cargo vessel, TOUSKA, attempted to run the U.S. blockade of vessels originating from Iranian ports and offshore berthing areas and was intercepted by the USS Spruance (DDG-111) and given repeated warning to turn around in the Gulf of Oman. After failing to heed these warnings, the Spruance targeted the engine room of the vessel and the vessel was subsequently boarded by and is now under the control of U.S. Marines.

No tankers have crossed the Strait of Hormuz so far today, according to tracking data via MarineTraffic obtained by CNN, with this following yesterday’s announcement once again closing the vital waterway by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has released video of the interdiction of the Iranian motor vessel Touska in the Northern Arabian Sea today by the U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Spruance (DDG-111). The video contains audio of the USS Spruance giving warnings to the Touska to vacate the engine room before the firing of her Mark 45 5" Deck Gun three times at the vessel, disabling it before boarding by U.S. Marines.
