US-Iran war news live: Donald Trump set to hold cabinet meeting at White House.
US-Iran war news live: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warned Washington on Tuesday after attacking Iranian missile launch sites and ships near the Strait of Hormuz. Twenty-five ships, including oil tankers, passed through the vital waterway “over the past day and night”, the IRGC said. Efforts to revive diplomacy between Tehran and Washington remain uncertain. The two sides are reportedly working toward a memorandum of understanding, although any breakthrough has been delayed by disagreements over the wording and lifting of sanctions related to Iran’s nuclear program.
Disagreement on ‘one word’
US President Donald Trump said he will host a Cabinet meeting at the White House on Wednesday. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters that talks were stuck because of “disagreement on one word, one sentence.”
Iran condemned US attacks

According to the semi-official Fars news agency, a senior spokesman for Iran’s armed forces warned that if the US and Israel bombed Iran again, the response would be “very heavy and strong” which “could extend beyond regional borders”.
Internet access partially restored
Iran’s Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref also confirmed that the country has taken the “first step” toward restoring full internet access after weeks of shutdowns and restrictions.
Internet access has started to be restored in Iran after a month-long blackout. Monitoring group NetBlocks reported that online activity had partially restored after several weeks of heavy restrictions across the country.
Israel-Lebanon update
At least 31 people were killed in Israeli air strikes in Lebanon on Tuesday, according to the country’s health ministry. The attacks were one of the deadliest days since the ceasefire came into effect in April, Al Jazeera reported.
According to an Israeli military official, Israeli forces demolished land north of their self-declared security zone in southern Lebanon. As Israel continued to bomb the area and troops penetrated deeper, residents of southern Lebanon fled in large numbers. The Israeli military also issued several displacement orders to towns and villages in the south and east of the country.
