🇮🇱 ISRAELI SECURITY PREPARATIONS: Israeli defense and political leadership continued preparations for the possibility that negotiations with Iran collapse and military operations resume. Channel 13 reported the IDF remains on high alert amid concerns over provisions reportedly allowing Iran to continue uranium enrichment and missile development.
🛡️ NETANYAHU CONSULTATIONS: Prime Minister Netanyahu reportedly remains deeply concerned about the direction of the negotiations. Israeli officials told Axios that Netanyahu urged President Trump to consider additional strikes on Iran, while also convening coalition faction leaders for consultations regarding ongoing developments.
🏛️ WHITE HOUSE DELIBERATIONS: The Trump administration intensified internal consultations ahead of a possible decision expected by Sunday. President Trump described the chances of either reaching an agreement or resuming military action as “a solid 50/50,” stating that any agreement must be “good for Israel.”
✈️ SENIOR U.S. OFFICIALS GATHER: Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Vice President Vance, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Dan Caine, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth all arrived at the White House as discussions advanced. According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump also informed aides he reserves the right to resume bombing Iran if Tehran fails to comply with a framework agreement.
📞 REGIONAL DIPLOMATIC OUTREACH: President Trump stated that the United States has largely negotiated a Memorandum of Understanding related to “peace” with Iran, pending final details. He said consultations were held with leaders from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain, alongside a separate call with Prime Minister Netanyahu that Trump described as having gone “very well.”
🌍 REPORTED FRAMEWORK DETAILS: According to Al Jazeera, the reported draft memorandum includes ending the regional war on multiple fronts including Lebanon, releasing frozen Iranian assets, lifting the U.S. naval blockade, opening the Strait of Hormuz under “Iranian management,” and withdrawing most American forces from the Middle East. The framework would reportedly establish a 30-day period for negotiating a nuclear agreement, extendable by mutual consent.
⚠️ IRANIAN POSITION REMAINS UNCLEAR: A source close to the Iranian negotiating team told the IRGC-affiliated Fars agency that Tehran will not enter nuclear negotiations “at this stage.” Reports also indicated Pakistan and Iran failed to reach understandings related to the nuclear file, while Iran’s stated priority remains ending the war.

Authorities confirmed Ivanka Trump was unharmed and the suspect remains in custody.
