4/27/2026 AP : Iran offers to reopen Strait of Hormuz if US lifts its blockade and the war ends, officials say
Iran has offered to end its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz if the U.S. lifts its blockade on the country and ends the war in a proposal that would postpone discussions on the Islamic Republic's nuclear program, two regional officials said Monday. U.S. President Donald Trump seems unlikely to accept the offer, which was passed to the Americans by Pakistan and would leave unresolved the disagreements that led the U.S. and Israel to go to war on Feb. 28.
4/26/2026 Reuters : Israel says it will attack Hezbollah 'forcefully' as four killed in strikes on southern Lebanon
Israel said on Saturday it would attack Hezbollah targets forcefully, further testing a fragile ceasefire with Lebanon that U.S. President Donald Trump recently said had been extended by three weeks. Four people were killed on Saturday in Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon, Lebanon's state news agency reported, while the Israeli military said Hezbollah had fired rockets at Israel, posing the latest challenges to the tenuous ceasefire.
4/26/2026 Newweek : US intercepts Iranian shadow fleet vessel as ports blockade intensifies
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOMM) on Saturday announced that its forces had intercepted one of the 19 “shadow fleet” vessels identified as part of Operation Economic Fury. In a post on X, CENTCOMM named the vessel as M/V Sevan, which was among vessels sanctioned by the Treasury Department as part of the U.S. effort to strengthen its blockade of Iranian ports as the Trump administration tries to use economic pressure to force a peace deal with Tehran.
4/25/2026 WaPo : Iran says no direct talks planned as Witkoff, Kushner expected in Pakistan
Senior Iranian and U.S. officials are expected in Pakistan this weekend as part of a diplomatic push to resume face-to-face negotiations on a deal to end the war in Iran, now in its second month. But it is unclear if the two sides will meet. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Friday “the Iranians want to talk. They want to talk in person,” when she announced a U.S. delegation including special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, would travel to Pakistan.
4/25/2026 NYTimes : On Iran’s Border, Cooking Oil Trade Is a Snapshot of the Country’s Struggles
On Turkey’s bustling border crossing with Iran, in a shed filled with boxes of cooking oil, a shopkeeper read aloud to his colleagues the latest news on his phone: Peace talks between the United States and Iran were postponed. For these merchants, the twists and turns of the war, and economic crisis in Iran, have brought an unexpected boon to their business. As the prices of basic goods have spiraled in Iran, they can sell olive, sunflower and corn oils for a modest profit to Iranians at the border, who will either sell the oil inside their country or use it themselves.
4/25/2026 NYTimes : Trump Seeks to Abolish Iran’s Atomic Stockpile, a Problem He Helped Create
As nuclear talks restart in Pakistan this weekend, President Trump will confront the complicated legacy of his own decision, eight years ago, to cancel what he has called “a horrible, one-sided deal.” That Obama-era agreement suffered from flaws and omissions. It would have expired after 15 years, leaving Iran free after 2030 to make as much nuclear fuel as it wanted. But once Mr. Trump withdrew from the deal in 2018, the Iranians went on an enrichment spree much sooner, leaving them closer to a bomb than ever before.
4/23/2026 NYTimes : A New Era and New Leadership: The Generals Who Are Running Iran
When Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ruled Iran as the supreme leader, he exerted absolute power over all decisions about war, peace and negotiations with the United States. His son and successor does not play the same role. Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, the son, is an elusive figure who has not been seen and whose voice has not been heard since he was appointed in March. Instead, a battle-hardened collective of commanders in the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and those aligned with them are the key decision makers on matters of security, war and diplomacy.
4/22/2026 AP : More confusion looms over Strait of Hormuz after Iran attacks three ships near waterway
Confusion deepened Wednesday in the Strait of Hormuz as Iran attacked three ships near the crucial waterway whose closure has plunged the world into an energy crisis after tankers carrying a fifth of the world’s oil were blocked from using the channel. The attacks unfolded just a day after U.S. President Donald Trump said he would extend the two-week ceasefire with Iran. The Islamic Republic said it fired on three outbound ships and seized two, calling it retaliation for the American naval blockade of Iranian ports and for the U.S. firing on and seizing an Iranian ship that did not stop when hailed by a vessel enforcing the blockade.
4/22/2026 CBSNews : At least 2 ships attacked in Strait of Hormuz as peace talks remain stalled
At least two ships have come under attack in the Strait of Hormuz, according to the British military, one cargo ship and one container ship, potentially jeopardizing efforts to resume peace talks between the U.S. and Iran. The U.K. Maritime Trade Operations Centre (UKMTO) reported early Wednesday that an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) "gun boat" had fired at a container ship 15 nautical miles northeast of Oman. There was no radio warning before the boat "fired upon the vessel," according to the British Royal Navy-led UKMTO, causing "heavy damage to the bridge" but with all crew "reported safe.
4/22/2026 Reuters : Trump declares Iran ceasefire extension with Hormuz Strait still blocked
U.S. President Donald Trump called off attacks on Iran indefinitely, though the Strait of Hormuz remained blocked on Wednesday with three ships reportedly hit by gunfire, and neither side showed up for peace talks in Pakistan.

Iraq News

4/3/2026 NYT : Iraqi Militia Offers to Negotiate Release of Kidnapped U.S. Journalist
An Iraqi militia allied with Iran offered on Wednesday to negotiate with the Iraqi government for the release of a kidnapped American journalist, according to two Iraqi security officials. The group, Kataib Hezbollah, is a powerful militia in Iraq outside the control of the state. In March 2023, it abducted an Israeli-Russian dual national who was a doctoral student at Princeton University, Elizabeth Tsurkov, and held her hostage for more than two years, torturing her while in captivity.
