Senior Iranian officials in the Foreign Ministry have claimed that the United States has ignored 15 of Iran's requests for negotiations, according to private discussions leaked to Iran International. One senior Iranian official stated that all 15 messages sent by Iran were ignored by the Trump administration. This assertion comes amid ongoing international scrutiny, particularly following the E3 invoking UN snapback sanctions against Iran, which Iran has sought to deflect. The leaked discussions suggest Iran may be attempting to create a perception of diplomatic openness. Separately, the Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree has not made a public statement in three days. His last reported statement on August 27, 2025, announced a military operation targeting Lod Airport in Jaffa with a ballistic missile named "Palestine 2."
