Iran's Parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has targeted the US, saying 'enemy's promise' cannot be trusted, only objective results matter. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump shared a highly stylised image on social media, showing him in a military uniform, with a cryptic caption that read, 'YOU'RE GETTING DISCOMBOBULATED.'

Trump has asked for several amendments to the US-Iran peace deal, including changes to the draft on clauses regarding Iran's nuclear program. He wants to try to amend the part on how the US gets Iran's enriched uranium stockpile and the timing.

The US has also affirmed that deals with Iran to safely sail through the Strait of Hormuz aren't allowed, as the conflict between the two nations grinds on. Shipping through Hormuz has slowed to a trickle since the Iran war began, sending the price of oil soaring.

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has underscored Washington's operational preparedness, asserting that the US was 'more than capable' of restarting the war if required. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) has reinforced the message, confirming that American military assets 'remain present and vigilant across the region.'

Despite conflicting signals about a potential diplomatic breakthrough, Iranian authorities have firmly countered that the ongoing discussions have not yet produced a final deal.
