UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced his resignation as Prime Minister and Leader of the Labour Party.

Qatar's Prime Minister told Al Jazeera that escalation anywhere in the region, including Lebanon, will affect U.S.-Iran negotiations. He condemned Israel for killing 100 Lebanese within days during the ceasefire, while praising the U.S. role regarding Israeli actions in Lebanon. He called Iran's attacks on Qatar and other Gulf states unacceptable and said there is Gulf-wide agreement on a joint dialogue plan with Tehran. Meetings on regional security are being prepared. On the Strait of Hormuz, Qatar's position is a return to pre-war conditions with free passage.

JD Vance: "Very good day. We made a lot of good progress. We did exactly what we wanted to do, which is accomplish four things for the American people. First, we wanted to build a mechanism for keeping the Strait of Hormuz open. It is open. We've seen, of course, gas prices and oil prices come down. Millions and millions of barrels of crude and natural gas flowing through the Strait of Hormuz that weren't flowing before. But we also wanted to make sure that we actually set up the coordination mechanism so that we could demine the Strait of Hormuz so that when there are conflicts that inevitably come up, we can make sure we work through them rather than that leading to escalation, and that is exactly what we did yesterday. Number two, we also wanted to build a similar mechanism for deconfliction for the regional ceasefire. As the President of the United States has himself said, sometimes these ceasefires just mean you're shooting a little bit less, but we wanted to make sure that we had the proper coordination set up so that if there is shooting, if Hezbollah fires at Israel or if Israel responds, if there are other conflicts that arise in the region, we're actually talking to each other and figuring out how to stop the shooting, how to make the region safer, our allies, and everybody else. We set that up as well. Number three, and this is probably what we're most excited about as Americans, the Iranians have agreed to invite IAEA inspectors back into their country. That is a major milestone for the American people and the first step in permanently denuclearizing or permanently ending a nuclear weapons program in Iran. And that's exactly what we wanted to do. That's exactly what we asked to happen. We made a lot of great progress on other nuclear talks, and that leads me to the final thing that we wanted to accomplish, which is actually set up the process for the technical negotiations that will follow. Our teams, working with the Iranians, the Qataris, and the Pakistanis, made great progress yesterday. They will continue to work at the technical level with the teams here in Bürgenstock. And then those technical negotiations are going to continue over the weeks and days to come. We wanted to set up a structure for that so that you could have proper political oversight. But, obviously, as much as this place is very beautiful, I can't stay here for the next sixty days. I'm about to go back home to the United States, but the technical teams are going to be working with proper oversight to make sure that we're accomplishing the objectives that matter for everybody. So those are the things that we wanted to accomplish. We came here. We did exactly that. The way that I think about it is very simple. We laid a very good foundation for a successful final deal. The final deal is the house. We set the foundation. We haven't built the house, but we've laid a successful foundation to get to a good place for the American people. I think it's important for all of us to appreciate how much was done, but there is still a lot to do as we continue to make progress on the nuclear talks, on the economic talks, as we continue to demine the straits and ensure that that flow of traffic continues to pick back up. A lot of progress, but still some work to do, and we're very committed to doing exactly that."

According to Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst, Iran has committed to allowing inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to return to the country to locate and dismantle key nuclear facilities. Yingst also reported that Vice President JD Vance, alongside Envoy Jared Kushner, secured a framework under which frozen Iranian assets could be used to purchase U.S. agricultural products for Iran.

The Joint Maritime Information Center (JMIC) has revised the threat level for the Middle East Maritime Region from Substantial to Moderate, as oil prices continue to fall and news of more progress on the U.S.-Iran talks than was previously reported comes in.

Automatic Identification System (AIS) data visible on MarineTraffic shows that at least two dozen vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours, with all but one appearing to use the Iranian traffic separation scheme. It is likely that additional transits occurred beyond those visible in the data, as some vessels may have switched off their AIS transponders while passing through the Strait.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump, in a post moments ago on TruthSocial responding to an article early today by The New York Times that questioned the actual point of the recent Iran War, stated: “The headline in the Corrupt and Failing New York Times: “What Changed After Almost 4 Months of War? Analysts Say Not Much.” REALLY? Their Military is DONE, their Navy is GONE, their Air Force is GONE, their Launching Pads, Missiles, Drones and Manufacturing of same, is almost GONE, their top two sets of Leaders are GONE, their Inflation is at 250%, their Economy is BROKEN, their Soldiers aren't being paid, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN, THE OIL IS GUSHING, and the U.S. Stock Market and Jobs are at record HIGHS.

Trump: "After spending Trillions of Dollars on NATO, Italy, and its Prime Minister, wouldn’t even think of becoming involved with the Islamic Republic of Iran and their very serious Nuclear Threat. For decades, we defend them but, when tested, they are not there to defend us, and the rest of the World. Not good!"
