The supplied page content does not include the liveblog’s 26 updates or any substantive reporting. It contains the headline, “Iran war live: Trump hints at possible Sunday Iran attack or deal reached,” followed by advertisements and a prompt to enable alerts. The headline indicates that former or current US President Donald Trump has suggested two possible developments for Sunday: an attack involving Iran or an agreement being reached. However, the provided material does not explain what Trump said, who might be involved in an attack or deal, what negotiations may be underway, or how events have developed. Consequently, no reliable account of the article’s reporting, context, or updates can be produced from this content alone. The headline frames the situation as a developing US-Israel war involving Iran and signals uncertainty between military action and a possible deal. The remainder of the supplied text is website promotion rather than article content. A full summary would require the missing liveblog updates.

The live update reports escalating conflict and diplomatic tensions involving Iran, the United States, and regional actors. Iran warned that U.S. ships would not be permitted in the Persian Gulf under any circumstances. U.S. officials have warned of possible renewed strikes and alleged advanced Iranian plots against Americans abroad, while U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz said the conflict could continue for another year, though he hopes Iran will negotiate.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian acknowledged that many people in Iran are struggling to afford food amid wartime conditions and economic pressure. He called for an end to the current “neither war nor peace” situation. Tehran’s ambassador to Pakistan said Iran remains open to talks under a Pakistan-brokered interim arrangement, and said Iran had offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if Washington lifted its naval blockade. The United States has rejected that proposal, according to the report. Iran’s leadership also reiterated a demand for compensation from the United States and Israel for war damage.
The conflict is also affecting Yemen and Saudi Arabia. The Houthis claimed attacks on Saudi airports, energy infrastructure, a pipeline, an air base, and the Yemeni city of Aden, following alleged Saudi strikes that the group said killed 17 people. Saudi authorities reported intercepting missiles and falling debris, while the Houthis denied targeting the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. Separately, a Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted a ballistic missile launched toward Riyadh; residents had received alerts and a journalist reported explosions. The report describes a breakdown of a longstanding Yemen truce and a renewed cycle of attacks amid the wider regional war.

Iran has denied reports that it offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the United States lifting its naval blockade. The IRGC-affiliated Tasnim news agency, citing sources, described as “a lie and fabrication” a Saudi outlet’s claim that Tehran had sent such an offer to Washington through Pakistani mediators. Tasnim said Iran had made no new proposal through Pakistan.
The report recalls that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on October 18 that a seven-day proposal to reopen the strait remained on the table. He said Iran was reviewing US comments and argued that reopening the waterway depended on the US acting honestly.
The denial comes amid President Donald Trump’s statements that a deal remains possible, alongside his warnings that the US could take further military action if negotiations fail. At a Florida campaign rally, Trump said the US might launch “another little Epic Fury” or Iran might agree to a deal. He also questioned whether Iranian leaders were willing to negotiate and reiterated that any agreement must permanently prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says the country retains full control of the Strait of Hormuz and that vessels in the area are being protected under Iranian regulations. The IRGC Navy also alleged that two supertankers, carrying more than 4.5 million barrels of crude oil in total, hit naval mines while attempting to use a southern route Iran considers unauthorized.
Iran has separately warned that it will not allow US military vessels into the Persian Gulf. Major General Ali Abdollahi, chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces, claimed Iranian forces had rendered the US Navy ineffective in the region and challenged Trump’s assertions that Iran’s nuclear facilities had been destroyed, asking why Washington remained concerned about the nuclear programme if the facilities were gone.
