Iran says it is preparing conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, including an end to the regional war. Qatar, Oman and Pakistan have sent delegations to Tehran to revive US-Iran talks, while Iran insists Washington must take practical steps, lift its blockade of Iranian ports and meet other demands before the waterway reopens.

Iran says it is drawing up conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz after requests from mediators. Tehran says the US must first take practical steps to meet those demands before the waterway can reopen.
Iran is preparing a list of conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz after mediators asked Tehran to provide them, Supreme National Security Council secretary Mohsen Rezaei said. He added that ending the regional war was among the conditions.
Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said future vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz will depend on progress in negotiations with the United States. Iran has temporarily opened a central corridor, but Tehran’s top condition for restoring traffic is an end to all Middle East conflicts, especially in Gaza and Lebanon.
Foreign ministers from the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey will meet in Istanbul on August 30 to discuss freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and regional security. The countries hope to signal to the United States that talks with Iran should continue. The agenda will also cover the Black Sea and Ukrainian grain exports.
US Central Command says American forces have redirected 75 commercial vessels since the United States resumed its maritime blockade of Iranian ports in mid-July. CENTCOM also reported that three vessels were disabled and two were boarded; the redirected total was 70 on August 23.

Russia’s Foreign Ministry said the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals bears full responsibility for what happened to Bosnian Serb General Ratko Mladic after repeatedly denying humanitarian release to the bedridden, terminally ill man. It accused the tribunal of putting exemplary punishment above humanity and cited disregard for his rights, medical care and alleged anti-Serbian bias.
Bosnian Serb General Ratko Mladic, who was serving a life sentence for genocide and crimes against humanity committed during Bosnia and Herzegovina’s bloody 1992–1995 war, has died. Survivors and victims’ families say his death does not close the chapter.
Ratko Mladic, the Bosnian Serb general known as the “Butcher of Bosnia,” has died at 84 in a hospital in The Hague, U.N. court officials said. He had been held since 2011 after years on the run for war crimes in the former Yugoslavia and was sentenced to life in prison in 2017. His forces were responsible for atrocities including the 1995 slaughter of up to 8,000 Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica.
People across Bosnia are reacting to the death of convicted Bosnian Serb war criminal Ratko Mladic. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for genocide and crimes against humanity committed during the 1992–1995 Bosnian War; one person said even Mladic’s family should not mourn him.
Ratko Mladic, convicted of genocide for the Srebrenica massacre and of other war crimes, has died in detention at The Hague at 84. The former Bosnian Serb army commander was held responsible for ordering the killing of more than 8,300 unarmed Muslim boys and men and for the prolonged siege of Sarajevo. He was sentenced to life in prison in 2017 and consistently denied responsibility.
BBC special correspondent Allan Little recalls meeting Bosnian Serb commander Ratko Mladić during the first hot summer of the Bosnian war. He describes the ethnic cleansing, expulsions and atrocities carried out by forces under Mladić’s command, and the personal shock of his cameraman Tihomir Tunukovic being killed by a Serb gunner.
Federation Council Deputy Speaker Konstantin Kosachev accused Europe of condemning Ratko Mladic and Serbia while ignoring what he called “misanthropic nationalism” in Ukraine. He said at least 16,000 people in Donbass had been killed before the start of the special military operation by alleged heirs and followers of Ukrainian nationalists. Mladic died in a Hague prison at 84.

He was found responsible for orchestrating the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, in which at least 8,000 Muslims were killed, and was a central figure in the ethnic-cleansing campaign during the Bosnian war.
Ratko Mladić, who has died aged 84, commanded the Bosnian Serb army during Yugoslavia’s breakup and oversaw a brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing. He led the 1,425-day siege of Sarajevo, while the fall of Srebrenica saw about 8,000 men and boys taken to unmarked graves. He and Radovan Karadžić were responsible for genocide and crimes against humanity.
Convicted Bosnian Serb war criminal Ratko Mladić has died at 84 in a UN prison in The Hague, a UN official confirmed.
