Washington is reviewing Tehran’s response to its latest proposal for ending the war, in which the US laid out a “very clear red line” for peace terms, according to Ambassador Mike Waltz.
Mediators have been trying to build momentum toward an elusive long-term peace deal.
• In Israel: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there is still “work to be done” in the joint US-Israeli offensive against Iran, emphasizing that Tehran has not given up its enriched uranium or dismantled its nuclear sites.
• Strait of Hormuz: Iran’s military warned that countries enforcing sanctions against Iran will “face problems” when their vessels use the key waterway. Tehran earlier said it would launch a “heavy assault” on US assets in the Middle East if its ships face further attacks surrounding the strait.
• Energy crisis: As gas prices surge due to the conflict, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright left the door open Sunday to suspending the federal gas tax.
