Morning recap

Good morning Middle East Eye readers, Iran has asked the US to “correct its behaviour” and set six conditions for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, including permanently halting military action against Iran and its regional allies. US vice president JD Vance said the US has made progress in negotiations with Iran, but Washington remains focused on determining whether Tehran “is willing to make longer-term changes that could lead to an improved relationship with Washington”. Israeli settler attacks continue in the West Bank, with Palestinian media outlets reporting that Palestinian property was torched in an overnight attack. Here are the latest developments: • Firefighters have “extinguished a fire that broke out at dawn” in a facility belonging to the Saudi Aramco Refinery in Jizan. • Israeli troops infiltrated a Lebanese village placed under the control of Lebanon's army as part of a June agreement, building an earthen barrier there overnight. • A girl and her father were wounded when an Israeli drone crashed in the town of Kfar Rumman in southern Lebanon. • Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and defence minister Israel Katz quietly authorised rehabilitation work in southern Gaza two weeks ago, Israeli Army Radio has reported. • Hamas has said it remained ready to proceed with a US-backed Gaza peace plan and urged pressure on Israel, which insists it did not agree to the latest part of the deal. • Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s internationally recognised government join a chorus of countries that have condemned the attack on an oil tanker operated by the UAE’s ADNOC.
