Iran live updates: Trump calls on Israel, Iran to 'immediately' stop attacks

Sadegh Larijani, the head of Iran's Expediency Discernment Council and the brother of slain senior official Ali Larijani, said on Monday that Tehran's attacks on Israel "in defense of Lebanon" indicate "the formal declaration of a strategic doctrine."

Larijani said the Iranian attacks "sent a clear message that if one side of the Axis of Resistance is attacked, it will trigger a response that extends beyond geographical borders and will change the region's equations," as quoted by the semi-official Tasnim News Agency.

The Axis of Resistance refers to the Iranian-led grouping of militias spread around the Middle East through which Tehran has traditionally sought to build deterrence against and erode the influence of Israel, the U.S. and their regional partners. Lebanese Hezbollah is a key part of the axis.

President Donald Trump posted to social media on Monday morning demanding that Israel and Iran "immediately stop 'shooting.'"

The U.S. military recently shot down four Iranian drones that had been launched toward the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. Central Command said Friday.

"The attack drones posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic," CENTCOM said.

In response, CENTCOM said U.S. forces struck "Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites" in the city of Goruk and on Qeshm Island "to defend against further attacks."

This is the latest incident during the ceasefire where CENTCOM has said it defended against an Iranian action and then launched strikes at Iranian targets.

The International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi indicated that discussions with Iran may be moving toward a preliminary nuclear framework, but outcomes remain uncertain.

The main obstacle to resuming full nuclear verification in Iran is the lack of consistent access for inspectors following recent disruptions, even though Iran remains legally bound to cooperate, Grossi said during a press conference Friday.

On Iran's 60% enriched uranium, Grossi said there are several technically feasible options -- such as exporting it, diluting it, or keeping it under IAEA control -- but these are ultimately political decisions. He stressed that no arrangement can proceed without first re-establishing a verified baseline of material on the ground, and while the current assumption is that the uranium remains in place, the IAEA has not independently confirmed its status after recent attacks.
