Iran war day 97: Tehran says no progress in talks; Israel attacks Lebanon

Israel carries out drone attacks on Lebanon after agreeing to renew ceasefire as Tehran defends attacks on Gulf nations.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said talks with the United States have made no progress, but channels of communication remain open after tensions escalated between Washington and Tehran.

Araghchi also defended Iran’s attacks on US allies in the Gulf as self-defence, warning that further sanctions or military action would not force Tehran to change course.

Meanwhile, Kuwait said Iranian missile and drone attacks on Wednesday killed one person and wounded more than 60 others.
