🇺🇸🇸🇦🇮🇷⚡️ — Efforts to restart U.S.-Iran peace talks are facing opposition from Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which are urging Washington to maintain sanctions and its naval blockade rather than offer Tehran concessions, according to WSJ.

Qatar and Oman are pushing for renewed negotiations, potentially as early as next week, including a proposed seven-day pause in fighting and a phased reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Saudi Arabia, however, wants Iran to face further economic pressure following attacks on Gulf shipping and the increasing Houthi (Ansarallah) operations threatening its Red Sea oil exports.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told U.S. officials to maintain the blockade until Iran agrees to a new deal.

Meanwhile, Iranian diplomats have presented proposals to end the war, but mediators say the IRGC has taken a harder position, rejecting new negotiating formulas and signaling its readiness for a prolonged conflict.

🇺🇦⚔️🇷🇺 Situation on the Krasny Lyman & Slavyansk directions, Donetsk Oblast:

Over the last 10 days, Ukrainian forces continued their counteroffensive operations in the Krasny Lyman direction, which has facilitated the launching of additional counterattacks east of Nikolaevka in the direction of Seversk.

In the north, Ukrainian forces continued advancing eastwards down the Pinkov Gulley towards Zarechnoe (Kirovsk), entering the western part of the village, and captured some new positions on the northwestern outskirts of the settlement. Other forces continued fighting for the northern streets of the village.

To the southwest, after clearing northern Lyman from earlier Russian infiltrations, Ukrainian forces were able to establish control over the fields east of the city, while simultaneously breaking through east along the road to Zarechnoe (Kirovsk), entering the southwestern part of the village where they are now engaged in heavy fighting with Russian forces. Since then, they were able to fully clear the fields between Lyman and Zarechnoe (Kirovsk), pushing the Russians nearly 9 km away from the eastern outskirts of Lyman.

To the south, the Ukrainians completed their clearing operations in the southeastern suburbs of Lyman, thereby officially re-establishing full control over Lyman city. From there, they began advancing east through the forests towards Torskoe, pushing the Russians around 8 km away from the eastern outskirts of Lyman and establishing control over nearly the entire stretch of forest between Lyman and Torskoe.

To support these counterattacks east of Lyman, Ukrainian forces, with their newly improved logistical lines established in the recaptured areas north and northwest of Lyman, began funnelling in reinforcements for new operations southeast of Lyman, where they were able to clear the forests west of Dibrova before eventually re-establishing full control over the village itself. From here, they initiated new counterattacks east from Lyman, pushing down the railway line and recapturing a number of strongpoints along the way, while other assault groups secured the strongpoints at the lakes northeast of Dibrova.

To the southeast, the Ukrainians resumed infiltration operations into Yampol and recaptured the southern half of the village. From there, they began a two-pronged attack in the direction of Torskoe from the southwest, supporting the ongoing offensive from the west, where they are now actively infiltrating towards the railway overpass, the ostrich farm, and the western edge of the Serebryansky Forest in Lugansk Oblast. Due to these advances, Russian forces mostly withdrew from their large salient southeast of Lyman and are attempting to defend a small bridgehead west of the Zherebets River northeast of Yampol.
