In Tehran, Iran's deputy foreign minister, Majid Takht-Ravanchi, told the BBC that Iran was ready to consider compromises to reach a nuclear deal if the US was willing to discuss lifting sanctions. US officials, however, have repeatedly emphasized that Iran is holding up progress in the protracted negotiating process. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said President Donald Trump preferred a deal, but it was "very hard to do" one with Iran.
In Gaza, eleven Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes on Sunday morning, according to Palestinian civil defense and health officials. The IDF stated it had struck terror targets in response to ceasefire violations by Hamas, and that militants had been killed after emerging from a tunnel. The Palestinian Red Crescent reported a strike on a tent encampment that killed at least six people, while another strike in the south of the strip killed five. Both Israel and Hamas have accused each other of breaching the ceasefire agreement.
