Trump weighs Iran peace plan as regional tensions intensify

Trump will review Iran’s new 14-point peace proposal as talks remain deadlocked and a senior Democrat argues the War Powers Act still requires congressional authorization, challenging Trump’s claim that hostilities have terminated; the broader crisis persists with mounting casualties in Lebanon, evacuation warnings around southern Lebanon, ongoing naval activity around the Strait of Hormuz, and continued US-European diplomacy, while Iran’s leadership pushes broad demands that analysts say mirror Trump’s maximalist stance and could hinge on Washington changing its behavior.
