"Iran sent its response to the latest U.S. ceasefire proposal via Pakistani mediators and wants negotiations to focus on permanently ending the war, but President Donald Trump quickly rejected it as "TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!" with no details."
"Iran seeks to end the war on all fronts, including in Lebanon, where Israel is fighting the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group, and to ensure the security of shipping, state TV said. Washington's latest proposal addressed a deal to end the war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and roll back Iran's nuclear program."
"Trump earlier on social media accused Tehran of "playing games" with the United States for nearly 50 years, adding: "They will be laughing no longer!" Trump is giving diplomacy "every chance we possibly can before going back to hostilities," the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, told ABC earlier."
"The fragile ceasefire was tested when a drone ignited a small fire on a ship off Qatar and the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait reported drones entering their airspace. The UAE said it shot down two drones and blamed Iran. No casualties were reported, and no one immediately claimed responsibility."
