Israel Hayom is a media organization founded on the belief that the Israeli public deserves better journalism—more balanced, more accurate, and more reliable. Journalism that speaks rather than shouts. Journalism that is trustworthy, objective, and matter-of-fact. A different kind of journalism, offered free of charge. The first print edition was published on July 30, 2007, and in 2010 Israel Hayom became the Israeli newspaper with the highest weekday readership. The newspaper’s publisher is Dr. Miriam Adelson. Its Editor-in-Chief is Omar Lachmanovitch, and its founding editor is Amos Regev. Israel Hayom’s Hebrew and English websites, as well as its Android and iOS applications, provide around-the-clock news coverage, exclusive content, breaking news and updates, analysis and commentary, video, podcasts, and live broadcasts. The digital platforms of Israel Hayom include news and opinion channels covering culture and entertainment, lifestyle, technology, sports, business and consumer affairs, health, military affairs, food, Judaism, tourism, and automobiles. In 2021, a new Hebrew-language website and mobile application were launched to provide users with a fast, up-to-date, secure, and convenient experience. The content of the newspaper’s print edition is also available online through a daily digital edition and can be received via newsletter. “The Israel Hayom Clique,” the publication’s exclusive benefits club, offers website users discounts and special promotions on products and services. Israel Hayom welcomes feedback, criticism, and suggestions for improvement from its readers. You can contact the organization by email at hayom@israelhayom.co.il
Efforts to resume the talks are continuing with mediation by regional states. In Iran, an internal struggle is underway over the delegation’s authority and its ability to reach agreements. In the US, officials are signaling that they will not move forward without a change in Iranian conduct.
US Central Command says no vessel has succeeded in breaching the blockade in the past 24 hours. At the same time, Trump addressed the talks: “I don’t like the proposal to suspend uranium enrichment for 20 years. They cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons.”
The teams may return to Pakistan’s capital for another round of talks this week. Vice President JD Vance said “There is a grand deal to be made here, but it's up to the Iranians to take the next step.”
According to information obtained by Israel Hayom, the US is not willing to set another date for talks with Iran at this stage. At the same time, grim economic data point to a sharp deterioration and an increasing pressure to renew contacts with the Americans.
Analysis puts the potential daily damage at $435 million – nearly $13 billion a month. The blockade could strangle Iran's economy without a ground war, but risks upending the ceasefire and triggering a crisis with Beijing just weeks before Trump meets Xi.
Inflation could hit 180%, two million jobs could vanish, and a 12-year recovery awaits – and that's before American sanctions take full effect. Now Pezeshkian's allies fear the public will hold him personally to account.
The Islamabad negotiations fell apart after Tehran refused to dismantle its nuclear program; the White House is now weighing limited military action and a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz as leverage.
The president ordered the US Navy to intercept any vessel paying transit fees to Tehran; the move reverses the administration's earlier strategy of expanding oil supply by easing sanctions on Iranian crude.
Negotiations that opened with pleasantries collapsed into shouting, as Tehran's hardliners dictated unyielding positions despite Iran's weakened state.
According to The New York Times, the three issues the sides failed to resolve were reopening the Strait of Hormuz, unfreezing Iranian assets and transferring Iran's nuclear material. The regime in Tehran is demanding "war compensation" and refuses to reopen the strait to shipping until a final agreement is signed.
