Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was conspicuously absent from his father Ali Khamenei's funeral on Sunday, attended by his three brothers and senior regime officials; Mojtaba has not appeared in public since his appointment in early March, with speculation about his condition fuelled by rumours of wounding in US-Israel air strikes.

The US and Iran exchanged strikes for a second consecutive day, straining a ceasefire agreed in April. The US conducted "self-defence strikes" targeting Iranian military and radar sites; Iran responded with ballistic missiles at US assets in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan, with Iran's foreign ministry saying the ceasefire is now "practically meaningless."
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps says it struck ships in the Strait of Hormuz after US Central Command launched new strikes on Iranian military sites.

Efforts to end a two-month U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran have stalled, with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi leaving Pakistan empty-handed over the weekend and U.S. President Donald Trump canceling a planned visit by his envoys, as both Tehran and Washington show little willingness to soften their terms. The deadlock has pushed energy prices to multi-year highs and darkened global growth prospects.
Donald Trump cancelled a planned trip by US special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner to Pakistan for talks on the Iran war, saying it would waste "too much time." Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi had held talks with mediator Pakistan but said he was yet to see whether the US was "truly serious about diplomacy," as diplomatic efforts remain stalled over the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's nuclear ambitions.
