Trump pushes back Iran strikes deadline

13 Sept 12:37 Key points summarised by AI

President Trump extended the deadline for strikes on Iran's energy assets to April 6, stating talks were "going very well" at Tehran's request.
A 15-point "action list" was passed to Tehran, with Iran responding by demanding an end to US/Israeli attacks, war reparations, and respect for its Strait of Hormuz sovereignty.
New Israeli strikes "eliminated" Iran's Guards' naval commander, while fresh violence flared in the Gulf, including missile debris causing casualties near Abu Dhabi and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
Trump's rhetoric oscillated between threats to "obliterate" Iran and claims of its capitulation, even suggesting US control over Iran's oil, while Israeli opposition leaders warned of the war's high toll on their military.

Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
