Iran live updates: US-Iran talks ongoing, Israel advances in Lebanon

Negotiations between Iran and the U.S. are still ongoing and a text for a memorandum of understanding, an agreement, "has not yet been finalized," Iran’s Foreign Ministry said Friday.

"What the Americans refer to as a 'maritime blockade' was an illegal action from the very beginning, both a violation of the ceasefire and an obstruction of international freedom of navigation. We need to see in practice whether they will actually follow through on this statement or if it is merely a propaganda claim," Esmaeil Baqaei, spokesperson for Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told Iran’s State TV Friday.

"Regarding an agreement, as I said, as I speak to you now, message exchanges are continuing, but no final agreement has been reached," he said.

Iranian officials said negotiations with the U.S. are focused on ending the war imposed on Iran and nuclear issues are not being discussed in detail at this stage, according to Iranian Press TV.

The Strait of Hormuz has been under Iran's special measures since the imposed war began and is closed to hostile military vessels, however, commercial ships have transited through the route in coordination with Iranian authorities, according to Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei.

Baghaei also said Iran and Oman must establish mechanisms that both preserve their national interests and security as well as reassure the international community that shipping through this route is conducted safely.

The Israeli military is fighting Hezbollah "head on" across several parts of Lebanon, including north of the Litani River, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Friday.

"Our forces crossed the Litani, they advanced into the controlled areas. We are also operating in Beirut, in the Bekaa, across the entire width of the front and are hitting Hezbollah head on," Netanyahu said in a video released by his office.

Speaking from northern Israel, Netanyahu said, "From here, the battle against Hezbollah in the north is being waged."

A ceasefire has been in place in Lebanon since mid-April but the IDF has said it continued to target Hezbollah in several parts of Lebanon.

Hezbollah has continued to attack Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon and fire projectiles at northern Israel.

Since March 2, Israeli forces have killed at least 3,355 people and wounded another 10,095 across Lebanon, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.

On Friday, the IDF again urged residents from several towns and villages in southern Lebanon to evacuate north of the Zahrani River.

President Donald Trump said he will be meeting in the White House Situation Room "now" to make a "final determination" regarding Iran.

"Iran must agree that they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb. The Hormuz Strait must be immediately open, no tolls, for unrestricted shipping traffic, in both directions. All water mines (bombs), if any, will be terminated," Trump said in a post on social media Friday.

Trump also suggested that the U.S. will unearth and destroy Iran's enriched material, which he said is buried deep underground after the U.S.'s bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities last year.

"No money will be exchanged, until further notice. Other items, of far less importance, have been agreed to. I will be meeting now, in the Situation Room, to make a final determination," Trump added.
