US-Iran War Live Updates: Iran’s diplomatic and military standoff with the United States has entered a more complex phase, with parallel moves on negotiation, escalation and global positioning. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held high-level talks in St Petersburg with Vladimir Putin and Sergey Lavrov. Moscow has signalled readiness to mediate, attempting to reassert influence in the Middle East as tensions widen. At the same time, Washington is weighing its next steps. Donald Trump has reviewed a fresh Iranian proposal with top security aides, even as earlier talks stalled. The proposal reportedly touches on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and delaying discussions on Iran’s nuclear programme, though US demands remain unchanged, particularly on oil transit and enriched uranium. Trump has also left the door open for direct engagement. On the ground, the situation remains volatile. Iran has made clear it will not return to pre-war conditions in the Strait of Hormuz.

Oil prices have climbed to recent highs following stalled negotiations, while global markets show mixed reactions. Catch all the live updates at indiatoday.in.
