The United States awaits a formal response from Iran on a proposal to end the war, after Iranian media reported “sporadic clashes” between Iranian and US naval forces in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said “every time a diplomatic solution is on the table, the US opts for a reckless military adventure”, and questioned whether Washington was engaged in a “crude pressure tactic”.
Israeli attacks on Lebanon have escalated despite a US-brokered ceasefire, with several people killed on Saturday, a day after dozens were killed in one of the deadliest days since Israel’s invasion and bombardment was launched on March 2.
