- Iran delivered a 14‑point peace proposal to the US through Pakistan, calling for troop withdrawal, blockade lift, and a Lebanon cease‑fire within 30 days.
- Trump announced "Project Freedom" to guide ships out of the restricted Strait of Hormuz starting Monday, warning that interference will be met with force.
- US has not formally confirmed a reply, but Trump said on Truth Social he will review Iran’s plan, calling past Iranian actions "a big enough price" not yet paid.
- Israel is singled out in Tehran’s plan to halt its offensive in Lebanon, underscoring ongoing hostilities despite a ten‑day cease‑fire.
Why it matters: Iran hopes to leverage the 30‑day deadline to extract US concessions, while the US threatens to keep the naval blockade, risking further shipping disruptions and higher freight costs for regional trade.
