Iran Submits Peace Proposal as US Announces Strait of Hormuz Escort Mission

Iran has put forward a 14-point proposal to the United States, seeking to end the ongoing conflict within 30 days, which includes calls for lifting sanctions and ending a US naval blockade. US President Trump noted positive discussions but also voiced skepticism regarding the plan's acceptability. Concurrently, the US announced its military will begin escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway that Iran has reportedly closed. This development indicates a dual approach of diplomatic engagement alongside preparations for increased military presence in the region.
