- United States freezes assets of 14 individuals and entities, including a Dubai firm and an Iranian money exchanger, for aiding Iran's weapons procurement.
- Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that the cease‑fire will be extended beyond its Wednesday expiry until Iran offers a unified proposal.
- Chabok FZCO a Dubai‑based company is accused of supplying U.S.‑origin aircraft sensors to Iran's Mahan Air airline.
Why it matters: Iran loses access to US‑blocked assets for 14 entities, while the US gains leverage ahead of the Pakistan talks; the extended ceasefire until Wednesday gives Tehran a narrow window to propose a unified plan.
