Trump calls cabinet for meeting amid negotiations with Iran

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, called a cabinet meeting at the White House for this Wednesday (27), amid progress in negotiations between Washington and Tehran to transform the current ceasefire into a more lasting agreement in the Middle East.

Despite signs of rapprochement, disagreements over the wording involving the Iranian nuclear program and sanctions relief still hinder a definitive understanding. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the impasses focus on "one word, one sentence".

Negotiations gained new momentum after Iranian authorities returned from Doha, Qatar, this Tuesday (26), after what Tehran classified as "intense negotiations". The diplomatic process has been mediated by Pakistan.

At the same time, Iran accused the United States of violating the ceasefire and carrying out attacks on Iranian merchant ships. In a statement, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said Washington had continued to promote "illegal and unfair actions" since the truce was announced.

According to Tehran, the US had also committed "numerous maritime robberies" and carried out attacks in the Hormozgan region, in southern Iran, in the last 28 hours. The area is home to part of the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic route for global oil transport.

On Monday (25), Centcom (US Central Command) confirmed that American forces carried out "self-defense strikes" against missile launch sites and Iranian vessels near the strait.

"American forces conducted self-defense strikes in southern Iran today to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces," said Centcom spokesman Timothy Hawkins.

The Iranian government classified the actions as proof of "deception and betrayal" by the United States during the ongoing diplomatic process and stated that it will not leave "any act of aggression unanswered."

Despite the tensions, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reported that 25 vessels, including oil tankers, crossed the Strait of Hormuz on the last day after security coordination with the Iranian Navy.

In the internal Iranian scenario, internet access began to be partially restored after President Masoud Pezeshkian ordered the resumption of services. According to monitoring group NetBlocks, the connection has not yet returned completely to normal.

Meanwhile, the conflict in Lebanon has intensified again. The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that Israeli airstrikes killed 31 people and injured 40 others on Tuesday, in one of the deadliest days since the start of the country's ceasefire in April.

According to Lebanese authorities, the victims include women and children. The government accused Israel of carrying out "a series of massacres" in different regions of southern Lebanon.

The Israel Defense Forces said it continued to attack "Hezbollah terrorists and infrastructure" and said the military eliminated members of the group who were preparing attacks against Israeli troops.

Lebanon security sources reported more than 120 Israeli bombings throughout the day, increasing pressure on the already fragile truce in place since April 16.

Part of the attacks occurred near Beaufort Castle, a medieval fortress almost 900 years old considered one of the best preserved castles in the region by Unesco. Bombings also hit areas near the Qaraoun Dam, Lebanon's largest water reservoir.

In addition to air strikes, Israel expanded ground operations in southern Lebanon. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israeli troops "are operating with large forces in the field and capturing and controlling areas."
