BREAKING: Israel has launched a new overnight ground advance into southern Lebanon with Hezbollah forces engaging Israeli troops directly at zero distance, destroying 4 Israeli military vehicles and downing helicopters during evacuation flights. This follows 20+ Israeli airstrikes that leveled residential buildings and killed at least 18 people, including entire families, in the heaviest assault since the ceasefire, per Al Jazeera.
Over this violation of the Iran-US MOU's first clause, Iran has suspended negotiations with the US and the Switzerland trip, with VP Vance also cancelling his trip in response.
Iran now says it will not unilaterally implement any MOU commitments until the U.S. does the same and attacks in Lebanon permanently stop, per Fars.

French President Macron on Trump and Ukraine:
When Trump arrived, he thought Ukraine was going to lose. That is why he wanted a rapid peace agreement.
Remember January–February 2025. He thought Ukraine was going to lose.
President Trump saw that everything he had been told—"they will collapse," "they won't get through the winter"—was false.
And that he is dealing with courageous, innovative people whom he respects.
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:
Gaza will remain in ruins. In the end, there will be migration, because there will be nothing to look for there in the coming decades.
.@UN_Spokesperson on escalation around El Obeid in Sudan: "Far too many times in this conflict, clear warnings have failed to trigger concerted action by the international community. We must not allow the horrors of El Fasher to be repeated in El Obeid. https://t.co/UNzx6WWUP0
BREAKING: Iran has suspended its entire 60-day negotiation period with the US over the direct violation of the MOU's first clause, with Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon constituting a breach less than 24 hours after the MOU was electronically signed, per Fars and Al-Mayadeen.
Iran's negotiating delegation had already been preparing to depart for Switzerland to launch the first round of talks before Iran made the decision to suspend the entire trip.
Iran will also not unilaterally fulfill its commitments, and until Iran is fully assured Israeli attacks on Lebanon have stopped and the US has practically adhered to the first-clause obligations, talks remain cancelled.
#Sudan | The UAE-backed terrorist #RSF militia targeted the power substation in El Obeid, North Kordofan State, using drones, in continuation of its systematic campaign against civilians and vital service facilities.
The targeting of power stations and civilian infrastructure is a condemned crime, as it directly threatens civilian lives, disrupts essential services, and deepens the suffering of citizens amid the country’s worsening humanitarian conditions.
