Pakistan’s powerful army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, has held “highly productive talks” with the Iranian leadership in Tehran, resulting in “encouraging progress towards a final understanding” between the United States and Iran, according to the Pakistani army.

Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s foreign minister, calls for “dialogue and diplomacy” in a call with his Pakistani counterpart as Tehran prepares to respond to the US 14-point proposal to end the war.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says it set a 30-day deadline for the US military to end its blockade of ports, adding President Trump “must choose between an impossible military operation or a bad deal”.

An Iranian army spokesperson says Iran is still in a “war situation” as the Strait of Hormuz remains a major sticking point in negotiations.

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said no deadline has been set by US President Donald Trump for the extension of his ceasefire on Iran, adding that it will be the president’s decision when the truce ends.

Tehran is ‘fully prepared’ for US to resume hostilities at any moment, says Iran’s parliament speaker Ghalibaf.

Leavitt is next asked about the Iran ceasefire, and says that reports the US has asked to formally extend it are "not true".

President Donald Trump has been speaking to a number of different US media outlets after threatening Iran's infrastructure if the country doesn't reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Here's what we've heard.
