Briefings
Iranian high command issued warnings against US military or terrorist attacks, stating that if such actions occur, the Islamic Republic forces and the Iranian people will determine the end of the conflict. This follows diplomatic efforts mediated by Qatar and Pakistan to resume peace talks after a ceasefire agreement in April, though no lasting accord was reached. The US Vice President JD Vance sent a letter to the Iranian National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezai requesting renewed negotiations, which Iran confirmed but did not respond to. The US is preparing for upcoming intercalary elections that could influence the war's direction, while Israel's Likud party won the most seats in its legislative elections but lacks a majority. The conflict began on February 28 after US and Israeli attacks on Iran, leading to retaliatory strikes and maritime restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz.
