Iran Estimates $270 Billion in Damages From US-Israel Strikes

Iran has estimated that damage from recent strikes by the United States and Israel stands at approximately $270 billion, according to a preliminary government assessment.

Government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani said the figure remains an initial estimate and could change as evaluations continue. She made the statement to local media, as reported by Tasnim news agency and cited by international outlets.

Mohajerani stated that the issue of war reparations forms part of Iran’s agenda in ongoing diplomatic efforts. She said Iran’s negotiating team raised the matter during recent talks held in Islamabad and continues to pursue compensation through diplomatic channels.

“Iran’s losses from US and Israeli attacks are currently estimated at around $270 billion,” she said.

The estimate follows a period of military escalation involving Iran, the United States, and Israel. Iranian officials have repeatedly stated that the country considers itself affected by the strikes and intends to seek accountability.

The statement comes as Iran and the United States prepare for another round of talks expected to take place in Islamabad later this week. The discussions are set to address broader tensions and explore potential steps toward de-escalation.

Iran has not released a detailed breakdown of the estimated damages. Officials indicated that assessments are ongoing and that further updates may follow as more data becomes available.

Iran’s Araghchi Blames US ‘Shifting Goalposts’ for Talks Collapse

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said negotiations with the United States collapsed due to what he described as changing demands from Washington during talks in Islamabad.

Araghchi said both sides were close to reaching an agreement before the discussions broke down. He stated that Iran engaged in the talks in good faith but encountered “maximalism, shifting goalposts and blockade” from the US side.

He added that the two sides were “just inches away” from finalising an understanding before differences emerged at a critical stage.

The talks, described as among the highest-level engagements between the two countries in decades, ended without a deal after extended negotiations. Key issues included ceasefire terms, sanctions relief, nuclear policy, and regional security arrangements.

The breakdown comes amid a fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran, with tensions continuing in parts of the region. Both sides have signalled that further diplomatic efforts may be required despite the current setback.

Araghchi said future progress would depend on mutual conduct, stating that goodwill must be met with reciprocal action for negotiations to succeed.

Trump Says Iran Ceasefire ‘Holding Well’, US Plans Hormuz Blockade

US President Donald Trump said the ceasefire with Iran is “holding well” but confirmed that the United States military will move forward with a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz following failed negotiations.

Trump said the decision comes after talks with Iran in Islamabad ended without an agreement, increasing pressure on the existing truce.

He stated that the US Navy has been instructed to begin operations to block maritime traffic linked to Iran and to enforce restrictions aimed at limiting Tehran’s control over the waterway.

US military officials later clarified that the blockade will primarily target vessels entering or leaving Iranian ports, while allowing transit for ships heading to non-Iranian destinations.

The Strait of Hormuz handles a significant share of global oil shipments, and the announcement has raised concerns over energy markets and shipping routes.

Iran has warned that any military enforcement in the strait could be seen as a violation of the ceasefire and has signaled possible retaliation.

The move comes amid continued tensions despite the ceasefire, with both sides maintaining military readiness as diplomatic efforts remain uncertain.

Iran Urges US to Enforce Ceasefire Commitments in Lebanon

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the United States must uphold ceasefire commitments that include extending the truce to Lebanon.

Araghchi made the remarks during a phone call with Mohammad Reza Shibani, according to Iranian reports. He said ongoing Israeli attacks in Lebanon should stop in line with the ceasefire understanding.

Iran has maintained that the ceasefire framework covers broader regional hostilities, including operations in Lebanon. The United States and Israel have stated that Lebanon is not part of the agreement, leading to differing interpretations.

Araghchi’s comments follow similar statements by Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who said negotiations with the United States cannot proceed unless the ceasefire is implemented across all fronts, including Lebanon.

The issue has become a central point of contention ahead of planned talks in Islamabad. Iranian officials have warned that continued military activity in Lebanon could affect the negotiation process.

The ceasefire, announced earlier this week, aims to pause hostilities and create conditions for dialogue. However, ongoing strikes and disagreements over its scope have raised uncertainty about its durability.

Analyst Calls Vance’s Presence at Iran Talks a ‘Historic’ Step for Pakistan

The participation of US Vice President JD Vance in upcoming talks with Iran has been described as a significant development by analysts, particularly from Pakistan’s perspective.

Anza Saqib Akhund said that while the start of negotiations does not guarantee outcomes, the talks represent an important diplomatic moment. She described the development as notable for Pakistan, which is hosting the discussions in Islamabad.

Akhund said Pakistan views Vance’s presence positively, noting that sending a senior US official reflects the importance attached to the negotiations. She added that it indicates recognition of Pakistan’s role in facilitating dialogue between the United States and Iran.

She said Vance’s involvement could influence the tone of discussions, given his understanding of the impact of conflict.

The talks follow a ceasefire between the United States and Iran announced earlier this week. Both sides are expected to address key issues including regional security and conditions for maintaining the truce.

Analysts said the diplomatic engagement highlights Pakistan’s position as a mediator in the process. However, they noted that the outcome will depend on whether both sides can resolve differences that have contributed to ongoing tensions.

Trump Warns of New Strikes on Iran if Talks Fail

US President Donald Trump said the United States is preparing for possible military action against Iran if upcoming negotiations do not produce an agreement.

In an interview, Trump said US warships are being rearmed with advanced weapons systems and are ready for deployment if talks fail. He stated that the military would act if a deal is not reached.

The remarks come ahead of negotiations expected to take place in Islamabad following a ceasefire announced earlier this week between the United States and Iran.

Trump said the administration is pursuing a diplomatic solution but indicated that military options remain in place. He described the preparations as part of a broader strategy while negotiations continue.

The ceasefire aims to create conditions for dialogue, but tensions remain high due to ongoing military activity in parts of the region and differing interpretations of the agreement.

US officials have said the talks will address key issues including regional security and Iran’s nuclear programme. Iranian officials have also stated that any agreement must include guarantees against further attacks.

Trump’s comments highlight the uncertainty surrounding the negotiations and signal that both diplomatic and military paths remain under consideration as discussions approach.

Iran Says Ceasefire Must Include Guarantees Against Renewed Attacks

Iran said it will not accept a ceasefire that allows further military action against it, ahead of planned negotiations with the United States in Islamabad.

Majid Takht Ravanchi stated that Iran supports diplomacy but will not engage in talks based on what he described as misleading information or conditions that could lead to renewed conflict.

Speaking during a meeting with foreign ambassadors and representatives of international organisations in Tehran, Ravanchi said Iran’s proposed 10-point plan will form the basis of negotiations.

He said Iran does not want a ceasefire that allows what he described as an aggressor to rearm and launch further attacks. He added that Tehran has communicated to its partners that any agreement must include guarantees to prevent a repeat of recent developments.

The remarks reflect Iran’s position as discussions are set to begin following a ceasefire announced earlier this week. Iranian officials have raised concerns over reported violations of the agreement and have warned that continued military activity could affect the negotiation process.

The talks in Islamabad are expected to address key issues including security arrangements, regional tensions, and conditions for maintaining the ceasefire. The outcome may determine whether the current truce holds or faces further challenges.

Iran Warns Ceasefire Could Collapse Amid Continued Attacks

Iranian officials warned that the ceasefire with the United States could collapse if attacks in the region do not stop, citing developments in Lebanon and recent security incidents.

Officials said attacks on Lebanese territory are considered a violation of the ceasefire terms. Iran stated that the agreement included a halt to military activity across the region, including operations linked to Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Iran also pointed to the downing of a drone in central Iran as another breach. Authorities said such incidents raise concerns about compliance with the ceasefire conditions and could affect ongoing diplomatic efforts.

Iranian officials indicated that continued violations could lead to withdrawal from the negotiation process. The warning comes as talks are expected to take place in Islamabad, where delegations have arrived for discussions aimed at a broader settlement.

The situation in the Strait of Hormuz has added complexity to the conflict. Iran is assessing measures related to shipping in the waterway, citing its strategic importance to global energy markets.

Officials said Iran views control over the strait as a key factor in its position during negotiations. The waterway remains critical for global oil and gas transit, and any disruption has implications for international trade.

The ceasefire, announced earlier this week, faces uncertainty as differing interpretations of its scope and continued military activity challenge its implementation.

Iran Says Uranium Enrichment Programme Will Not Be Curtailed

Iran’s atomic energy chief Mohammad Eslami said the country will not limit its uranium enrichment programme, reaffirming Tehran’s position amid ongoing tensions and negotiations.

According to remarks reported by the Iranian Students’ News Agency, Eslami said external pressure would not succeed in restricting Iran’s nuclear activities. He stated that enrichment remains a core component of Iran’s nuclear programme.

Iran has consistently maintained that its nuclear activities are for civilian purposes and fall within its rights under international frameworks. The issue of uranium enrichment remains a central point of disagreement in negotiations with the United States.

Recent developments have intensified focus on Iran’s nuclear programme following the ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran earlier this week. U.S. officials have continued to press for limits on Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, describing it as a key condition in any future agreement.

Iranian officials have rejected demands to halt enrichment, stating that any agreement must recognize the country’s nuclear rights. The position reflects long-standing policy that enrichment cannot be fully restricted, even as discussions continue over potential compromises.

The statement comes as talks are expected to take place in Islamabad, where both sides are set to address key issues including nuclear activity, regional security, and sanctions.
