A senior IRGC adviser says that for the first time, no US vessels are present in the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, the Sea of Oman, or even the northern Indian Ocean.

Iran will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz until seven conditions outlined in the Islamabad memorandum are fulfilled, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has said, adding that Tehran does not base its national security policy on statements or tweets by US officials.

Iran's foreign minister said Sunday that there is no military solution to the conflict between the US and Iran, adding that the war cannot be resolved through further sanctions, in an apparent reference to Washington's sanctions on Tehran.

Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, Kazem Gharibabadi, says Iran is reviewing the US response to its proposed 7-day plan to end hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Iran remains firm and serious in both defending itself and pursuing diplomacy, warning that the country will respond more forcefully than before if it faces renewed military action.

Iranian Minister of Petroleum Mohsen Paknejad has resigned, and President Masoud Pezeshkian has appointed Hamid Bovard as caretaker head of the Oil Ministry, the president's office said.

China's state television CCTV News on Sunday released rare footage of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Army's counter-drone units in combat-oriented training, highlighting laser weapons, integrated missile-gun systems and high-power microwave weapons as an "iron triangle" of anti-drone equipment.
