A White House spokesperson has reported that Israel and Lebanon will begin a second round of negotiations on 23 April, which will be resumed by Washington.

Tehran denounces an act of "maritime piracy" and responds with drones. Tension and mistrust are growing on the verge of talks for a peace agreement.

According to the police, the incident was "a domestic quarrel." At first, the alleged perpetrator of the shooting fled, but was captured and later killed by police officers.

Iranian President Masud Pezeshkian has replied to Trump that he cannot deprive him of his "right" to develop nuclear power.

Following the conclusion of last Saturday's negotiations without agreement, the Iranian authorities have confirmed that they have continued to exchange messages with the US over the past few days that Pakistan is mediating.

U.S. President Donald Trump attacked Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Tuesday for his recent defense of Pope Leon XIV and his refusal to participate in the Iranian war.

After closing last weekend's first round of negotiations in Islamabad, Pakistan, without agreement, the White House tenant has announced that "something could happen" over the next two days.

Chris Wrigt, head of the US Energy Area, has said that the fall in oil prices for this summer is "a very ambitious deadline," and expects "high" energy prices, even higher than they are now, while achieving "significant maritime traffic" in the strategic strait. 

After the peace talks between the US and Iran in Pakistan  ended without agreement, the US president announced his intention to take control of Hormuz, closing the passage to ships with Iranian ports of destination or departure.

The United States has announced the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz from Monday (14 GMT, 16:00 in the Basque Country and 17:30 in Tehran).

A summary, in two words, of what will be news in the Present today.

After more than 20 hours of dialogue, the conversation has ended with a final offer and deep disagreements over the nuclear programme and regional security.

According to Iranian media, the Iranian representatives will not sit at the negotiating table until they have fulfilled the commitments contained in the ceasefire agreement and ended in the Israeli attack. Peace negotiations between the US and Iran are scheduled to begin on Saturday in the city of Islamabad, with Pakistan as mediator.

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has made it clear that although he accepts the agreement between the United States and Iran, Lebanon does not enter into the treaty.

Iran has pledged not to manufacture nuclear weapons and has called for the lifting of all sanctions against it and the creation of a fund to compensate for the damage suffered. These are some of the points of Tehran's plan to negotiate an end to the war with the US.

The price of a barrel of Brent oil has fallen significantly as a result of the two-week truce between the US and Iran, during which a peace agreement will be negotiated in Pakistan on the basis of a ten-point plan presented by Tehran.

The ceasefire has been announced an hour and a half before the end of Trump's ultimatum. The parties will cease their attacks and Iran is committed to opening the Strait of Hormuz. 

A few hours before the ultimatum to Iran ends, the US president has announced that today will be "one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the world." 

As planned, four of the mission's astronauts — Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen — have lost communication with the Earth for 40 minutes. Then they have observed the hidden side of the satellite and been able to collect photographs and data from unseen sites.
