Trump

Officials involved in the talks tell CNN that Trump’s patience is wearing thin over the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The president is weighing military steps as his team splits between ramping up pressure and giving diplomacy a fair chance.

U.S. officials told NBC that Gulf states were surprised by President Donald Trump’s social-media announcement about an operation in the Strait of Hormuz and that the move wasn’t coordinated with them in advance. Report: These are the "red lines" the United States set for Iran.

Pakistani officials say a major breakthrough is paving the way for a U.S.-Iran agreement: Tehran would freeze uranium enrichment for 12 years while Washington lifts most economic sanctions.

Tensions spike in the Persian Gulf after missiles detonate near a U.S. destroyer in the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM chief Brad Cooper says forces responded to Iranian aggression; Tehran vows a "night of rage," and Israel keeps its defenses on high alert.

Tehran sent Washington a 14-point proposal to end the war, demanding security guarantees, a U.S. troop pullback from neighboring states, an end to the naval blockade, the release of frozen assets, compensation, lifting sanctions, a new mechanism for the Strait of Hormuz, and a halt to fighting on all fronts, including Lebanon. The U.S. floated a two-month cease-fire; Iran pushed to resolve the issues within 30 days. Trump said he’ll review the plan but cast doubt and raised the option of renewed strikes.

In a surprise Truth Social post, the U.S. president declared Israel is barred from striking inside Lebanon and said he will invite Lebanon’s Joseph Aoun and Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu to Washington. Netanyahu signaled a temporary cease-fire, while Hezbollah blasted the move and warned of consequences.
