The day's dominant story was Trump's conditional agreement to a 20-year suspension of Iran's nuclear program, provided Tehran shows 'real commitment.' This emerged after his return from Beijing, where he and Xi agreed on keeping the Strait of Hormuz open and preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Iran's FM Araqchi acknowledged receiving new US messages indicating willingness to negotiate, but noted talks have hit a dead end over enriched uranium. Meanwhile, the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire was extended by 45 days, seen as a defeat for Iran's efforts to undermine talks. Hezbollah claimed a drone attack on an Israeli military post. BRICS foreign ministers failed to issue a joint statement, with Iran and Russia emphasizing BRICS' role in Persian Gulf security. Iran International reported a 50 million euro bounty for killing Trump, and the UAE accelerated a pipeline project to bypass the Strait of Hormuz.
