Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel's efforts against Iran have successfully weakened the country's nuclear and ballistic missile programs, stating, 'Iran threatened us with annihilation and they are now fighting to survive.' His comments come after inconclusive US-Iran talks held in Pakistan, where 21 hours of negotiations failed to produce a commitment from Iran to refrain from developing nuclear weapons. US Vice President JD Vance reported that the US entered the discussions with flexibility but could not secure any clear commitments from Iran, which he emphasized is a core demand. Iran's state media attributed the failure of talks to what they described as the US's unreasonable demands. Amid these developments, tensions persist with US warships reportedly entering the Strait of Hormuz to clear mines, a claim that Iran has denied, warning of severe consequences for any military ships in the area.
