Iran’s president has defended a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. as the best way to end a stalled conflict. He emphasizes the agreement aligns with Iran’s dignity and interests. The deal, signed in June, aimed to end the war and reach a nuclear accord, but key issues remain unresolved. Meanwhile, Iran’s new security chief warned neighboring countries against supporting U.S. sanctions, threatening retaliation. In the occupied West Bank, a Palestinian man reported on Sunday being beaten by an Israeli settler. Israel’s military is also pursuing a suspect in a separate stabbing incident, highlighting ongoing violence in the region.
