Ghalibaf aide calls for identifying source behind Nabavian disclosures

A diplomat attending the talks told CBS News on Saturday that an emergency session addressing the Israel-Hezbollah conflict has been added to the first day of peace talks in Switzerland.

The source said the issue will be the opening session when US and Iranian delegations begin negotiations.

Neither Israel, Hezbollah nor the Lebanese government are party to the negotiations. The report added that allowing Iran to introduce the Israel-Hezbollah conflict into the agenda marks a shift in US strategy.

US President Donald Trump on Saturday reposted a message originally shared by Donald Trump Jr. on Truth Social, amplifying a post criticizing US foreign policy and negotiations.

The original post argued that past US strategies had resulted in significant costs and rejected criticism of negotiations from what it described as the “architects of failure.” Trump shared the message with the comment: “This times 1000000000!”

Channel 14 News reported on Saturday that Israeli forces seized an underground command center built by Iran for Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.

"Israeli forces have seized a strategic, Iranian-built Hezbollah underground command center on the Ali Taher Ridge in southern Lebanon. Hundreds of terrorists are believed to be trapped inside as the IDF dismantles the infrastructure," Channel 14 posted on X.

Mohammad Mokhber, a member of Iran’s Expediency Discernment Council and former vice president, said on Saturday the United States better understands the language of economics and cost-benefit calculations, adding that Iran’s negotiators will not be satisfied unless commitments are fully implemented and national rights are secured.

"Americans understand the language of economics and cost-benefit better. When the agreement remains just on paper, the flow of Middle East energy will also come to a halt. Our negotiators will not be satisfied except with the full implementation of commitments and the fulfillment of the nation's rights. Although we neither forgive nor forget the blood of each and every martyr, the martyred Imam, and the children of Minab," he posted on X.

Bloomberg reported on Saturday that Iran resumed loading crude oil from its Kharg Island export terminal after a break of about six weeks, following what it described as the lifting of a US Navy blockade on Iranian ports.

The report said Iran has been an early beneficiary of easing tensions with the United States after the signing of an interim peace deal, and has quickly restarted oil exports. It added that while some international shippers remain reluctant to transit the Strait of Hormuz amid safety concerns, Iran has moved about 20 million barrels of crude using tankers previously anchored near Chabahar.

Bloomberg also said that at least 20 tankers of various sizes remain anchored east of Kharg Island, suggesting Iran may have additional crude ready for export from the Persian Gulf.
