Iran rejects US control over war-timing as mediation stalls and Hormuz tensions persist

Iran says the United States cannot dictate when it goes to war or makes peace, insisting any talks be based on Iran’s interests even as mediation led by Qatar and Pakistan shows signs of revival. Tehran says the Strait of Hormuz remains closed and bilaterally discusses routes with Oman, while US actions are said to undermine negotiations. President Trump says Iran has sought talks through intermediaries and direct channels, warning of a wider military option if diplomacy fails. The crisis also affects oil markets and spills into regional security dynamics, including Houthi strikes in the Red Sea and mounting domestic economic pressures in Iran.

Qatar Urges Hamas to Release Civilians, Say Diplomats and Sources

Qatari mediators are urging Hamas to accelerate the release of hostages, including women and children, without expecting Israeli concessions, as Israel prepares for a ground assault on Gaza. Qatar, in coordination with the US, is leading mediation talks with Hamas and Israeli officials regarding the release of over 200 hostages captured in Hamas' cross-border attack on October 7. The talks do not cover captive Israeli soldiers, as Hamas views them as strategic assets for future concessions from Israel. Qatar is discussing a larger release of civilians with Hamas and Israel, arguing that it would ease a logistical burden for the militant group.

Qatar Urges Hamas to Release Civilians in Hostage Negotiations

Qatar, in coordination with the US, is leading mediation talks with Hamas and Israeli officials to secure the release of over 200 hostages, including women and children, held by Hamas in Gaza. The talks aim to expedite the release of civilians without expecting Israeli concessions. Israel is preparing for a ground assault on Gaza, and Qatar is urging Hamas to release a large group of hostages to ease the logistical burden on the militant group. The release of civilians could also have diplomatic benefits for Hamas, showing sensitivity to international humanitarian concerns. However, the fate of Israeli soldiers held by Hamas is not part of the negotiations.

"Chevron and Unions Seek Mediation to Prevent Australia LNG Strike"

Mediation talks have begun between Chevron and unions in Australia to prevent strikes at the company's two major liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities. If an agreement is not reached, strikes are scheduled to begin on Thursday. The talks aim to resolve differences in pay and conditions after employees rejected a deal proposed by Chevron. The Offshore Alliance, a coalition of two unions, did not comment on the status of the talks. The potential strikes could disrupt LNG exports and increase competition for the fuel, impacting global markets.
