The United States and Iran have begun their highest-level direct talks in almost 50 years, since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, in a bid to end their more than five-week war that has spread across the Middle East. The U.S. delegation led by Vice President JD Vance, consists of Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law, while Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, one of Iran’s senior wartime leaders, is leading the delegation from the Islamic Republic. Pakistan’s Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, who has a close relationship with U.S. President Trump as well as senior leaders in Iran, mediated the face-to-face meeting between the top officials from both countries, according to the Financial Times.

RT @StuartDowell_: Hungary’s election campaign is closing with Viktor Orbán on the defensive and a visible groundswell forming around Tisza, and the two events last night showed that.

In Székesfehérvár, Orbán spoke to around 3,000 supporters in a town square. In Budapest, 120,000+ people packed Heroes' Square for a seven-hour concert, officially a civil society event, not a Tisza rally, but the connection was obvious.

Orbán's campaign has ended defensively. The early fear messaging that Ukraine will drag Hungary into war and that Tisza is Kyiv's proxy didn't land the way he needed it to.

By the final week he'd shifted to a softer argument: no Hungarian money for Ukraine. More durable, but less emotive.

And he's been busy firefighting the Orbán-Putin phone call transcript showing him offering to help Russia "in anything," and the Szijjártó recordings showing him briefing Lavrov on EU meetings.

Tisza, meanwhile, has added a new dimension to its closing argument. Beyond corruption and collapsed public services, the campaign has started to show the regime breaking down from within. Szabó Bence, a serving National Investigation Bureau detective, went public describing how intelligence services ran a fabricated operation against Tisza's IT staff.

Army captain Szilveszter Pálinkás, until recently the public face of military recruitment, described the defence forces in moral freefall and revealed that Orbán's son had planned a Chad mission projecting 50% casualties. Both appeared on stage at Heroes' Square on Friday night.

Today is the last campaign day. Hungary has no electoral silence law, so both sides are still actively rallying as I write this. Polls diverge wildly and the result is genuinely uncertain, but the momentum is clear.

Despite the ongoing face-to-face negotiations between Iran and the United States in Islamabad, which have reportedly advanced into technical talks on a potential peace deal to end the Iran War, fighting continues between Israel and Lebanon. In the last 24 hours alone, the Israeli Air Force reports that it has carried out over 200 strikes on Hezbollah military infrastructure and other targets in Southern Lebanon.

Forces under U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) have began setting conditions for clearing mines in the Strait of Hormuz, with the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers, USS Frank E. Peterson (DDG-121) and USS Michael Murphy (DDG-112), transited the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday and now operating in the Persian Gulf as part of a broader mission to ensure the strait is fully clear of sea mines previously laid by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) during the Iran War.
