Pezeshkian says Iran no longer trusts negotiations with US Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has told Al Jazeera that Iran no longer trusts negotiations with the United States after previous rounds of talks were followed by attacks and sanctions. "The day after the US president's speech, it was our turn to speak. In effect, he threatened to wipe Iran off the map and labelled us as 'terrorist'," he said. "This is the fourth or fifth time we have held talks. What has happened, and continues to happen is that we no longer trust these talks. No matter how much we negotiate, after a while they start attacking us, imposing sanctions and taking the kinds of actions they have taken before." "At least we have reached an understanding on a framework and announced it. Now the Americans have to respond. Are they willing to move within this framework, or do they want to derail the process again?" the president said.  Pezeshkian told Al Jazeera that previous rounds of talks were followed by attacks and sanctions.

Israel's attorney general orders postponement of E1 settlement tender Israel’s attorney general has ordered a one-month postponement of an E1 settlement construction tender in the West Bank to avoid it being used for electioneering, Al Jazeera reported. The tender, published on 18 August, covers seven residential compounds containing 1,234 housing units, out of the 3,401 units approved for E1, according to Israeli media. The deadline for bids had been set for 19 October, eight days before the Knesset election. E1 (East 1) would link Ma’ale Adumim and other illegal Israeli settlements to occupied East Jerusalem, effectively severing the West Bank and disrupting Palestinian movement between the northern and southern West Bank, and isolating communities on each side. The European Union has said the E1 settlement project fundamentally undermines the prospects for a two-state solution. It noted that these developments come amid increasing instability in the West Bank and record levels of settler violence.
