On the 7th, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi stated that as long as U.S. threats continue, formal negotiations for a final agreement will not begin. On the 8th, Reuters reported that Trump announced the end of the U.S.-Iran temporary memorandum of understanding and initiated a new round of strikes against Iran. Meanwhile, on the same day, the Associated Press reported that mediators such as Pakistan, Qatar, Egypt, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia are still trying to maintain the agreement, while the U.S. and Iran accuse each other of violations regarding naval operations and the nuclear issue.

Reuters reported on the 8th that the U.S. revoked key Treasury Department permits allowing Iran to sell oil and petrochemical products, with related transactions required to conclude by the 17th. Earlier reports from Anadolu and Dawn mentioned that the next round of direct negotiations between the U.S. and Iran is expected to take place in the third week of July in Doha, depending on the readiness of the technical teams and the regional situation. Today, The Guardian reported that the U.S. conducted a second consecutive day of strikes against Iran, with Trump warning of "even worse consequences."
