Iran US News Live: An Iranian Foreign Ministry official confirmed that Tehran has received the proposal from Washington and is reviewing it, according to CBS News. President Donald Trump previously claimed that Tehran had agreed to “zero uranium enrichment,” a statement Iran quickly denied.
In a major de-escalation pause, Trump also announced a five-day halt to planned US strikes on Iranian targets, citing “productive” developments in ongoing efforts to end the conflict.
Iran ‘reviews’ US proposal: Here are some of the highlights of the day:
- President Donald Trump said Washington DC and Tehran had “major points of agreement” and ordered a five-day suspension of US strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure, raising hopes of a diplomatic breakthrough.
- Iran has denied any negotiations with the United States, dismissed Trump’s remarks as an attempt to influence global markets and reiterated that its position on the Strait of Hormuz remains unchanged.
- Global financial markets rallied as war fears eased, with Brent crude down 10.9% to $99.94 from nearly $120 last week, while the S&P 500 posted its strongest gain since the conflict began.
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would continue to attack Iran and Lebanon and vowed to protect national interests regardless of any ceasefire or peace talks.
- Israeli strikes have devastated southern Lebanon, destroyed key bridges over the Litani River and driven an estimated 1.2 million people from their homes, as officials signal ambitions to push Israel’s border north.
