A senior Iranian official denies Tehran had any role in the drone attack on the Erbil office of Iraqi Kurdistan Region PM Masrour Barzani.

The official told pro-Hezbollah outlet Al Mayadeen the strike was "another false-flag operation" with "nothing to do with Iran," noting Iran's military operations are "officially and clearly announced."

Kurdish counterterrorism forces earlier said two suicide drones launched from Iran hit the office. No casualties reported.

Oman and Iran could reach a deal on the Strait of Hormuz "provided the United States ceases its interventions," pro-Iranian Lebanese channel al-Mayadeen reports, citing "relatively positive moods" in Tehran.

An Iranian source told the Lebanese outlet al-Mayadeen that Tehran has rejected the latest American offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, insisting the strait will stay closed until the complete end of the war.

REPORT: Iran has reportedly rejected the latest U.S. proposal on the Strait of Hormuz, insisting the waterway will not fully reopen until the war ends, according to Al Mayadeen citing an Iranian source.

The source also claimed Washington accepted the continued closure of the southern shipping lane. The report has not been independently verified.

Iraqi PM Ali al-Zaidi has postponed his planned visit to Saudi Arabia after overnight Saudi-U.S. strikes on pro-Iranian militias in Iraq, an Iraqi government source told Al-Mayadeen.

The Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese channel al-Mayadeen, citing an exclusive source, reports that the Houthis have struck 3 Saudi oil tankers over the last 48 hours. 16 Saudi vessels have been forced to turn back, and per the source, no Saudi ship has passed through the Bab al-Mandab strait so far.

30 U.S. soldiers were injured during the past week following Iranian attacks in the Middle East, Al Mayadeen reports.

Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah to al-Mayadeen: The Lebanese government cannot enforce the Washington agreement -- "Without Hezbollah, nothing will pass." Fadlallah vowed to block implementation, said Hezbollah will hold its weapons, and accused Washington of torpedoing Pakistan-sponsored talks. He called the government's concessions a gift to Israel with no effect on the ground and warned Netanyahu not to rush announcements to Israeli society.

The group will confront any measure taken by Lebanese authorities and hold on to its weapons even more

Al-Mayadeen reports Tehran is demanding a Trump apology for his threats and an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon as conditions to return.

Iran's delegation to the nuclear talks has been suspended following Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon, per Al Mayadeen. Tehran reportedly warned Washington that Lebanon remains central to any continuation of negotiations.

NOW: Senior Iranian official to Al Mayadeen: Trump’s claim that the U.S. was not involved in Israel’s attack on Iran “does not match the facts.” The official warned that Iran’s “infrastructure for infrastructure” doctrine remains in force and said the response could extend beyond Israel to include U.S. interests and bases.

Senior Iranian security official to al-Mayadeen:

Tehran's infrastructure-for-infrastructure equation still holds. Trump's denial of U.S. participation in Israel's Iran strike does not match the facts on the ground.

According to Al Mayadeen, Iran’s proposal to the U.S. includes:

• Ending the naval blockade
• Restoring full freedom to export oil
• Lifting U.S. sanctions
• Unfreezing Iranian assets
• Securing a ceasefire in Lebanon
• Maintaining Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz

Al-Mayadeen claims 9 killed and 17 wounded in strikes on the villages of Jibsheet, Toul, and Haruf in southern Lebanon.

NEW: Al Mayadeen affiliated with the ‘axis of resistance’ reports a new Iranian proposal under which Tehran would first seek an end to the war on all fronts, especially in Lebanon, followed by talks on the Strait of Hormuz in a second phase and the nuclear issue in a third phase.

(This would drag out negotiations, and naval blockade would still be in place)

Al Mayadeen reports there is no indication that any Iranian delegation has arrived in Islamabad.
