00:00Pakistan says no date has been set for a second round of talks between the United States and Iran.
00:05This comes as Islamabad continues its mediation efforts,
00:09with Army Chief Asim Muneer currently in Iran ahead of a deadline for the fragile ceasefire.
00:15The White House says discussions remain ongoing and productive
00:18after talks in Islamabad last week failed to produce a breakthrough.
00:22But the US naval blockade still continues,
00:25with Iran now threatening to expand disruptions to key shipping routes,
00:29including the Red Sea and the Gulf of Oman.
00:32Meanwhile, Israeli officials say Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
00:35could hold rare talks with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun,
00:40a potential first in decades, though Beirut say it has no confirmation.
00:45Any contact would mark a milestone between the two countries,
00:49which have remained in a state of war since 1948.
