The plan reportedly comprises a 15-point package addressing Iran’s ballistic missiles and nuclear programs, and there are warnings of possible new fronts in Yemen and action near the Bab al-Mandab Strait if provoked; the U.S. has not yet received an official Iran response according to Axios.

Iran’s Araghchi: Israel’s strength relies on weakening its neighbors

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi argued at the Al Jazeera Forum in Doha that Israel pursues an expansionist project that requires weakening neighboring countries militarily, technologically, economically, and socially to keep an upper hand, condemning what he called a double standard in sanctions against Iran. He also said U.S.-Iran talks in Oman are a “good start” focused on the nuclear issue, stressed Iran’s enrichment stance (zero enrichment is not possible) and noted missiles will not be negotiated, while claiming last year’s 12‑day conflict did not destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
