Iran has intensified diplomatic efforts to end the war with the United States, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi shuttling between Pakistan and Oman on Sunday before flying to Russia on Monday.

US President Donald Trump said on Sunday Iran could telephone if it wanted to negotiate an end to the two-month US-Israel war on Iran, after scrapping a visit to Islamabad by his representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

The two main sticking points remain Iran's nuclear program and access to the strategic Strait of Hormuz, which is under de facto Iranian blockade.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces have escalated attacks against Lebanon, killing at least 14 people on Sunday despite a US-brokered ceasefire.

Here is what we know on day 59 of the conflict: the war continues, and diplomatic efforts have yet to yield results.
