US Iran war live: Iran accuses US of ‘excessive demands’ as nuclear talks stall and peace proposal reviewed

Iran has accused the United States of making 'excessive demands' and engaging in 'obstructionism' as diplomatic efforts to resolve tensions stall. The third round of Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) talks at the UN ended in deadlock on Friday, with Iran’s Permanent Mission stating that delegates failed to adopt a final document due to continued disputes. Tehran warned that the NPT risks collapse without progress on nuclear disarmament and vowed no future for the treaty if divisions persist. Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, arrived in Tehran on Friday as part of mediation efforts to ease tensions between Iran and the US. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held a phone conversation with Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi, discussing recent developments and initiatives to prevent further escalation. Despite these efforts, Iranian media reports indicate that differences between Tehran and Washington remain 'deep and significant.' The escalation has prompted Iran to close its airspace completely amid fears of renewed US military strikes. CBS News cited sources suggesting Washington is planning a 'fresh round' of strikes, though no final decision has been made. Several US military and intelligence officials canceled weekend plans as discussions on possible operations continued. US President Donald Trump also altered his weekend plans, returning to Washington amid the standoff, citing 'circumstances pertaining to government.' Meanwhile, the Israeli military reported a 'hostile aircraft infiltration' in northern Israel, triggering air raid sirens. The incident occurred as tensions in West Asia reached a critical phase, with multiple diplomatic and military developments unfolding simultaneously. Iran’s review of a new peace proposal comes alongside US media reports suggesting Washington is considering military action if negotiations fail.
