Yesterday's key developments:
• US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said President Donald Trump's negotiating team has not offered Iran any sanctions relief in exchange for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
• The first day of direct talks between ambassadors of Israel and Lebanon in Washington made no headway, after Trump said he had received commitments to de-escalation from both sides.
• Israel kept up strikes on southern Lebanon just a day after Trump asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to attack Beirut to avert further escalation in the three-month-old war.
