President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.

Following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire, initial U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan in April failed to reach a peace deal.

Trump later announced the open-ended extension of the ceasefire and the continuation of a U.S. blockade until negotiations are concluded "one way or the other."

Iran condemns US attack as 'clear violation' of ceasefire

Iran "strongly" condemned U.S. attacks against radar and coastal surveillance facilities in the Sirik area and Qeshm Island, calling it a "clear violation of the April 8 ceasefire."

Iran said the surveillance targeted by the U.S. on Saturday "protects the security of the country's borders and the safety of navigation in international waterways."

"This action, which follows the hostile and provocative behavior of the US regime against the Islamic Republic of Iran, demonstrates the complete disregard of the US ruling authorities for the fundamental principles of international law and the United Nations Charter," Iran said in a statement.

"The repeated violation of the ceasefire by the United States once again proves that this country not only lacks the will to reduce tensions and return to the path of stability but also, through its adventurous actions, exposes regional security to serious risks. The US government will bear responsibility for all consequences and repercussions arising from these illegal actions as well as any potential escalation of tensions," Iran said.

'Large portion' of Iranian support staff still without World Cup visas

The United States has denied visas to "a large portion" of the support staff for the Iranian national soccer team just days before the World Cup, the Iranian Embassy in Turkey said Saturday.

The embassy's account on X posting, "Why do you not say that visas were denied to a large portion of the managerial and executive staff, technical advisers, and others who are an integral part of any national football team?" replying to the post from the U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack.

"By extending your whimsical hostilities against the Iranian nation into the realm of sport, the U.S. government in practice is depriving Iran’s national team of its right to play in the World Cup under normal conditions and without undue pressure and stress," the post says.

Ambassador Barrack's post praised the work of the staff of the U.S. Embassy in Ankara for processing the visas for the Iranian team.

"You cannot whitewash conduct that violates FIFA regulations and breaches the United States’ host obligations merely by praising yourselves," the Iranian post said.

The team is scheduled to arrive in Tijuana, Mexico, on Sunday.

Iran takes on New Zealand on Monday, June 15, in Los Angeles.

Israeli airstrike kills two officers, 1 soldier: Lebanese Army

The Lebanese Army said that an Israeli airstrike targeting a military vehicle has killed two officers and one soldier, according to a statement released Saturday morning.

Calling it an "aggressive and barbaric raid," officials said the strike hit "a military vehicle on the Kafr Tibnit - Kharbital (Nabatieh) road, resulting in the martyrdom of two officers, with ranks of brigadier general and captain, and a soldier," according to the Lebanese Army.

"The continuation of the Israeli brutal, deliberate, and repeated aggression against Lebanon and its people and army only increases our steadfastness, faith, and determination to confront these aggressive attempts aimed at thwarting all efforts to reach a solution that allows for the restoration of stability, a comprehensive ceasefire, and the Israeli withdrawal from the occupied Lebanese territories," the statement said.
