The U.S. and Israel have temporarily removed Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf and Abbas
Araghchi from their target list for up to five days to allow potential
negotiations, U.S. officials said. Donald Trump is opening the door to talks,
with mediation efforts underway, though prospects remain uncertain. White House
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt warned Iran faces intensified strikes without
agreement. Israel has continued targeting senior figures, while the U.S. has
focused on military sites. Trump said, “We killed all their leadership… and now
we have a new group… but let’s see how they turn out.”
