Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the U.S. needs to find an “off-ramp” from the war with Iran. Iran is refusing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to shipping and has attacked a UAE tanker, while demanding sanctions relief as part of any agreement.

A mother and her son, on their way to Afula, accidentally entered Jenin after making a wrong turn. A Palestinian crowd attacked their car with stones, but the two managed to escape and reach the Gilboa crossing.

Iran has reportedly warned Gulf states following Trump’s threats. Tehran says a U.S. attack would trigger strikes on energy infrastructure and American bases across the region.

A draft agreement between Iran and Oman would give Iran authority over vessels entering the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz. Reuters reports that key disputes remain over the scope of Iran’s powers and oversight of shipping.

New information reveals how an unusual meeting between Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was reportedly arranged. The report adds to ongoing doubts about Khamenei’s condition and the lack of any public sign of life from him.

Iran says vessels will be charged “service fees” for security and related services. The U.S. denies the payments are part of the agreement and says no fees will be collected.

The U.S. president responded to Iranian claims that there are no negotiations: “They are begging for a meeting, talks begin, and then they say they are not discussing anything.” He stressed: “The blockade continues; nothing will get through to Iran.”

Repeated threats of renewed U.S. strikes force Israel to mobilize reservists, prepare aircraft and raise air-defense readiness before Trump backs down

What those options could look like: from sealing Iran’s borders to seizing islands or cutting off its oil revenue

President Donald Trump said the U.S. had been on the verge of an unprecedented military strike and announced that talks with Iran would begin today: “There is a deal on Hormuz, and there will be a deal on the nuclear issue.”

Iranian officials said they are discussing a Qatari proposal aimed at advancing an agreement with the United States. According to reports, Iran does not agree to the conditions presented, while several Gulf states opposed President Trump’s decision to call off the strike.

U.S. Central Command chief Adm. Brad Cooper has submitted plans for intensive strikes in Iran that could last up to two weeks. An Iranian drone struck a U.S.-owned gas tanker docked at a port in Egypt.

President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House that the U.S. plans to respond to the drone explosion at a port in Egypt: “We’re going to hit them very hard. They know it’s coming and can’t do anything about it. Now it’s our turn.”

U.S. Central Command confirmed overnight strikes on targets inside Iran. Iran responded by launching missiles toward American bases in Jordan, Kuwait, and Iraq.
