Iran ‘reviewing’ US proposal : Here are some of the day’s top developments:
Pakistan has offered to host talks between the US and Iran tobring a stop to the war. However, upon being asked about Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and J Vance's visit to Islamabad this week, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt denied confirming any such development. President Donald Trump claimed Washington DC and Tehran have “major points of agreement” and ordered a five-day suspension of US strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure, raising hopes of a diplomatic breakthrough. Iran denied any negotiations with the United States, dismissing Trump’s remarks as an attempt to influence global markets and reiterating that its stance on the Strait of Hormuz remains unchanged. Global financial markets surged on easing war fears, with Brent crude dropping 10.9% to $99.94 from last week’s near $120 peak, while the S&P 500 posted its strongest gain since the conflict began. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would continue strikes on Iran and Lebanon, pledging to protect national interests regardless of any potential ceasefire or peace negotiations. Israeli strikes have devastated southern Lebanon, destroying key bridges over the Litani River and displacing an estimated 1.2 million people, as officials signal ambitions to push Israel’s border northward.
