Iran Responds to US Peace Plan with Narrow Ceasefire Proposal
Iran has sent its reply to a U.S. proposal aimed at ending the standoff, proposing that negotiations focus first on a regional cessation of hostilities and a temporary halt to fighting that would allow traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, with a fuller deal on disputed issues like its nuclear program to come later; a Qatar LNG tanker crossed Hormuz as part of confidence-building measures, while the U.S. awaits Tehran's answer amid broader tensions and talk of a multinational mission to reopen the strait.
