US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC "there is a chance we may have a deal" in the coming hours, echoing President Donald Trump.

Speaking from the White House on Monday, Trump kept up his familiar combination of optimism for diplomacy and threats, warning that this was Iran's "last chance before decapitation".

Spring Revolution — Mizzima Daily Notes

Myanmar’s military continued a wave of arson attacks and airstrikes on 3 and 4 August that killed and injured civilians and forced more to flee, even as the regime sought to use its rare meeting with Aung San Suu Kyi to improve its international standing. Critics have called the ICRC-brokered meeting a diplomatic manoeuvre by the junta, while the European Union and United Kingdom renewed calls for the unconditional release of all political prisoners and continued direct access to Suu Kyi. Separately, revolutionary forces stepped up pressure against China over its continued interference in Myanmar’s political affairs.

Civil society calls for decisive ASEAN action to hold the illegal Myanmar military junta accountable

Civil society groups are calling on the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) to hold the Myanmar junta to account for its illegal usurping of power and the negative behaviour against its people according to a statement issued at the end of a forum held in Manila.

Here is their 4 August statement:

The Commission on Human Rights of the Philippines (CHRP), together with Myanmar and Philippine civil society and women organizations, convened the Forum “Strengthening Regional Accountability through the Lens of the Women, Peace, Security, and Humanitarian Situation in Myanmar” to examine how ASEAN can strengthen its response to Myanmar’s deepening human rights and humanitarian crises through the effective implementation of its Women, Peace and Security (WPS) commitments and the Five-Point Consensus (5PC).

Myanmar junta chief set for first Thailand visit as civilian leader

Myanmar's junta chief Min Aung Hlaing is expected in Thailand on Thursday, making his first trip there since becoming civilian leader as he seeks a return to the diplomatic fold for his pariah state.

The former general led a 2021 military coup that ousted democratic leader Aung San Suu Kyi, triggering a civil war estimated to have killed more than 100,000 people on all sides.

He was installed as Myanmar's president in April following stage-managed elections that democracy watchdogs and Western nations called a sham intended to launder the junta's image.

Malaysia: Forcibly returning Myanmar refugees risks lives, says HRW

The Malaysian government should reverse plans that would permit the forced return of refugees to Myanmar, where they face persecution and other rights abuses, Human Rights Watch said 4 August.

On July 23, 2026, Malaysia’s deputy foreign minister informed parliament that 5,000 Myanmar nationals in immigration detention would be sent back to Myanmar. On July 29, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said that Myanmar authorities had agreed to take back 5,000 ethnic Rohingya.

MOHR says 3,742 civilians killed in Myanmar's central regions as jet fuel sanctions go unenforced

The Ministry of Human Rights (MOHR) of Myanmar's opposition National Unity Government (NUG) has renewed calls for international sanctions on jet fuel and financial resources reaching the military junta, as new tallies from the ministry show military attacks have killed 3,742 civilians across Sagaing, Mandalay and Magway regions since the 2021 coup attempt — even as aviation fuel shipments to the military continue reaching Myanmar through disguised trade routes.

According to MOHR, the killings occurred during raids, airstrikes and drone attacks the military has carried out since seizing power from Aung San Suu Kyi's elected government on 1 February 2021, a takeover that triggered nationwide armed resistance under the Spring Revolution. The three regions, part of Myanmar's central dry zone, have been among the hardest-hit areas of the conflict; MOHR says the regime has treated them as a single zone of operations in an effort to crush the unyielding resistance movement that emerged there.
