US-Israel-Iran War Live News Updates: Trump Says He Wants To Take Iran's Oil; Mojtaba Sends Out A New Message

A security alert at Florida 's Palm Beach International Airport  prompted the launch of F-16 fighter jets and the deployment of flares after a civilian aircraft violated temporary flight restrictions near US President Donald Trump's Air Force One, The New York Post reported.

According to the New York Post, authorities imposed a ground stop at the airport while North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) aircraft intercepted the general aviation plane.

Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said the meetings in Pakistan are aimed at opening a 'direct dialogue' between the US and Iran, which have largely communicated through mediators. The war began with US and Israeli strikes during indirect talks. Pakistan said the foreign ministers met Sunday without US or Israeli participation.

An adviser to the United Arab Emirates, Anwar Gargash, called for any settlement to the war to include 'clear guarantees' that Iranian attacks on neighbours will not be repeated. He said Iran's government has become 'the main threat' to Persian Gulf security, and called for compensation for attacks on civilian infrastructure.
 

Pakistan announced that it will soon host talks between the US and Iran, though there was no immediate word from Washington or Tehran, and it was unclear whether discussions on the month-long war would be direct or indirect. "Pakistan is very happy that both Iran and the US have expressed their confidence in Pakistan to facilitate the talks. Pakistan will be honoured to host and facilitate meaningful talks between the two sides in the coming days,” Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said after top diplomats from Turkey, Egypt and Saudi Arabia met in Islamabad.

Pakistan later said the diplomats had departed for their home countries. The talks were originally scheduled to continue on Monday.

Pakistan's foreign ministry did not answer questions, and Iran's mission to the United Nations declined to comment.
 

Iran's Parliament Speaker, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf advised traders to be cautious of pre-market announcements, suggesting they're often a setup for profit-taking. In a post on X, he wrote, "Heads-up: Pre-market so-called 'news' or 'Truth' is often just a setup for profit-taking. Basically, it’s a reverse indicator. Do the opposite: If they pump it, short it. If they dump it, go long. See something tomorrow? You know the drill." [sic]

Donald Trump has told the Financial Times that he could "take the oil in Iran," including the possible seizure of Kharg Island, the country’s main oil-export terminal. “To be honest with you, my favourite thing is to take the oil in Iran,” Trump said, adding that he had faced criticism at home for the idea.

He suggested Kharg Island could be a target, saying the US had “a lot of options” and that occupying the island would likely require a sustained presence. Asked about Iran’s defences there, Trump said he did not believe the island was well protected and claimed it could be taken "very easily."

His remarks come as an additional 3,500 US troops arrive in the Middle East, amid rising concerns that further escalation could put American forces at risk of Iranian attacks.
 

An Iranian strike on a power station in Kuwait has killed one Indian worker and damaged a building at the site, the Gulf state's electricity ministry said.

Iran’s newly appointed supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has thanked the people of Iraq for their support during the war against the United States and Israel, according to Iranian media reports. Khamenei, the son of former supreme leader Ali Khamenei who was killed in an airstrike at the outbreak of the war on February 28, has not yet appeared in public since his appointment and has issued only a limited number of written statements.

In his latest message, Khamenei "expressed his appreciation to the supreme religious authority in Iraq and the Iraqi people for their clear stance against the aggression against Iran and for their support of our country," the ISNA news agency reported. The statement referred to Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, the Iraq-based cleric who is one of the most influential figures in Shia Islam.

Donald Trump said Iran's new Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei "may be alive but he's obviously, very seriously in trouble. He's seriously wounded."

US President Donald Trump said that Iran had agreed to allow 20 ships carrying oil through the Strait of Hormuz starting Monday morning and continuing over the next few days "out of a sign of respect." "I would only say that we're doing extremely well in that negotiation but you never know with Iran because we negotiate with them and then we always have to blow them up," Trump told reporters Sunday night board Air Force One as he flew to Washington.

Trump was asked if Iran had responded to the 15-point ceasefire plan the US has proposed and he said, they did and added, "They gave us most of the points. Why wouldn't they?" But Trump didn't offer details when asked about Iran, by his telling, appearing to make major concessions. "They're agreeing with us on the plan," Trump said.
