From the BBC:
A "historic" meeting between Israel and Lebanon in the US concluded with both parties agreeing to "direct" negotiations
Israel's ambassador to the US said the talks showed the three nations "are on the same side of the equation", while the Lebanese ambassador said they were "productive"
The US and Iran could resume talks "over the next two days", President Donald Trump has said, following the failed negotiations in Pakistan over the weekend
The US said no ships have passed through its blockade of Iranian ports and coastal areas in the first 24 hours. Tracking data, verified by the BBC, showed four Iran-linked ships crossed the Strait of Hormuz after the blockade began
China has condemned the blockade, calling it "dangerous and irresponsible". Iran said it is a "grave violation" of its sovereignty
