Proposals for immediate ceasefire to halt war circulated to US and Iran
AI Summary
Mediators from Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey have proposed an immediate ceasefire to the US and Iran to halt the ongoing five-week war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. This follows Donald Trump's threat to bomb Iranian power plants if Iran doesn't open the strait by Tuesday. Iran has rejected opening the strait as part of a temporary ceasefire and stated that negotiations are incompatible with ultimatums. Ceasefire discussions involve Pakistani and US officials, as well as Trump's envoy and Iran's foreign minister. Israel, preparing for all scenarios, has claimed responsibility for recent explosions at Iranian petrochemical complexes, stating they are ready to escalate bombings if necessary.
