U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer told members of his Cabinet on Tuesday that he has no intention to resign as calls within his Labour Party for him to step down grew louder.

U.S. President Donald Trump is meeting with his national security team Monday to discuss the way forward in the Iran war, including possibly resuming military action, after negotiations with the country deadlocked on Sunday, three U.S. officials told U.S. news portal Axios.

U.S. officials say Trump wants a deal to end the war, but Iran's rejection of many of his demands and refusal to make "meaningful concessions" on its nuclear program puts the military option back on the table, according to Axios.

Two regional diplomats familiar with the ongoing talks said that Pakistan was continuing its efforts to broker a compromise.

U.S. President Donald Trump said the ceasefire in the Middle East war was on "life support" Monday after rejecting Iran's latest counteroffer, which it said had included demands for the release of frozen assets and the end of a U.S. blockade.
