What happened
The Pentagon added one name to a public database, bringing the official number of U.S. service members killed in the conflict with Iran to 19. Iran conveyed its terms for ending the war to the United States through Qatari intermediaries and is awaiting a response from President Donald Trump. Tehran is demanding an end to the war on all fronts, the unfreezing of frozen Iranian assets, and an end to the naval blockade.
What changed
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he wants to arrange a personal meeting with Putin during the G20 summit in Miami, adding that he would fly there if the Russian leader attends. Now the U.S. Secretary of State has officially confirmed that the United States has sent Putin an invitation to the summit. Before that, Iran's delegation at the IAEA General Conference session demanded that U.S. membership in the agency be suspended. Later, Tehran conveyed terms for ending the war through Qatari intermediaries.
Who's affected
The visa decision affected Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, as well as the main Iranian delegation, which received visas with restrictions. The G20 summit invitation was sent to Russian President Vladimir Putin. U.S. service members appear in the Pentagon's updated database: 19 killed, with the latest entry a female Army officer. A day before the visas for Iran were approved, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was denied a visa.
