Iran’s foreign ministry is reviewing a US response delivered through Pakistani mediation regarding Iran’s latest proposal to end the war. Pakistan’s army chief is scheduled to travel to Tehran to continue mediation efforts between Tehran and Washington. Iran’s president says diplomatic paths remain open while warning that pressure or threats aimed at forcing surrender are illusory. Iran’s newly created Persian Gulf Strait Authority has established a supervision area in the Strait of Hormuz, requiring vessels to obtain permission to transit. Separately, condemnation is increasing over Israel’s detention and mistreatment allegations involving Gaza-bound aid flotilla activists, including a video posted by Itamar Ben-Gvir that critics say inflames tensions. Iran’s parliament speaker accuses the US of seeking to reignite conflict and force submission.
"Iranian state media said on Thursday that the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is reviewing the United States's response received via mediator Pakistan to Tehran's latest proposal to end the war. ISNA news agency reported on Thursday that Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir will travel to Tehran later today as part of the ongoing Pakistani mediation efforts between Tehran and Washington."
"Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian said all paths to a diplomatic solution with the US remain open from our side, while warning that attempts to force Tehran into surrender through pressure or threats are nothing but an illusion. Meanwhile, Iran's newly established Persian Gulf Strait Authority has announced the creation of a supervision area in the Strait of Hormuz, saying vessels will now require permission to transit the strategic waterway."
"Global condemnation is growing after Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted a video appearing to taunt activists from a Gaza-bound aid flotilla while they were allegedly being mistreated by Israeli prison guards. Rights groups and critics accused Ben-Gvir of inflaming tensions as scrutiny intensifies over Israel's treatment of detainees linked to pro-Palestinian activism."
"Iran's parliament speaker and chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, accused the US of trying to reignite the conflict and force Tehran into submission. The enemy's movements, both overt and clandestine, show that despite economic and political pressure, it has not abandoned its military objectives and is seeking to start a new war, Ghalibaf said in an audio message on his official website."
