Israel’s prime minister is rejecting President Donald Trump’s announced deal for Gaza and says Israeli forces won’t withdraw from the Palestinian territory until Hamas disarms. Meanwhile, more details are emerging on Iran and Oman’s deal to manage the Strait of Hormuz, but Tehran suggests that vessels linked to “hostile countries” will be barred. Iran also has changed its top security post. Elsewhere, Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi rebels have targeted a crucial Yemeni government-held port on the Red Sea and attacked an oil facility in Saudi Arabia. A Houthi spokesperson says Sunday's attacks were in response to Saudi drones breaching Yemen’s airspace.

Iran has issued dramatic new demands around the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Oman says talks to manage the strait between it and Iran are continuing. Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates said on Saturday that an Iranian missile targeted one of its ships that's owned by Abu Dhabi’s state-run ADNOC oil company. No casualties were reported. Elsewhere in the region, Yemen’s military attacked the country's Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in response to the strikes, escalating tensions and threatening to reignite the civil war. And Turkey's foreign minister gave new details on a defense agreement with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

Iran's leaders believe that sooner or later the United States will have to accede to their control over the Strait of Hormuz. That would mark a victory in the five-month war, as the critical waterway carries a fifth of the world's traded oil and gas in peacetime. But Iran's strategy also carries major risks. A prolonged conflict could inflict further damage on Iran's economy and infrastructure, potentially triggering another wave of internal unrest. In the meantime, the conflict over the strait makes it difficult to wind down the wider war, much less resume negotiations over Iran's disputed nuclear program.

Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia have signed a mutual defense agreement. The deal means an armed attack on one is considered an attack on all. It was signed Friday during a meeting in Saudi Arabia. The agreement aims to strengthen collective deterrence against aggression. Meanwhile, Iran-backed Houthi rebels have increased attacks on Saudi-linked targets. They were blamed for an attack in Marib province in Yemen and struck the Najran region in Saudi Arabia on Thursday. The attacks have escalated tensions since a 2022 truce. Separately, an Israeli strike wounded a Lebanese soldier in the village of Mansouri. Here’s a look at the latest developments across the Middle East.

The Senate has approved a punishing Russian sanctions bill that was a top priority for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham. Passage of the package Friday signals renewed bipartisan support for Ukraine as the war drags on. The legislation would penalize countries that continue to buy Russian oil, gas and other exports. It comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the Capitol late last month and watched from the gallery as the Senate took the first procedural votes on the legislation. The legislation allows the president to impose tariffs on the world’s top five purchasers of Russian oil or natural gas, including China and India. The package next goes to the House, but some Democrats have concern it gives Trump too much tariff authority.

Water levels on the Danube River have dropped so low due to drought that World War II German battleships are emerging into view. The Danube’s record levels also have forced power plants to the brink of shutting down, and governments across Central and Eastern Europe are taking steps to conserve electricity. The emerging ships belonged to Nazi Germany’s Black Sea fleet, deliberately sunk in 1944 to slow the Soviet advance in the final months of the war. Authorities are now trying to keep traffic flowing on the Danube as the dropping water levels create dangerous conditions.
