Israel Poised to Step Up Gaza Offensive
Israeli officials say they're poised to order tanks and troops into unconquered parts of the Gaza Strip in an all-out bid to destroy Hamas, throwing an ultimatum at the Palestinian Islamist faction to concede on terms for a negotiated winding down of the war.

Iran says it has seen no change in US position on sanctions yet
DUBAI (Reuters) -Iran's foreign ministry said on Monday it would have to see if there are changes in the U.S. position on sanctions, as the two countries negotiate a deal to resolve a decades-long dispute over Iran's nuclear ambitions.
