US, Iran receive 45-day ceasefire proposal as Trump deadline to reopen Strait of Hormuz looms
The US and Iran received a 45-day humanitarian ceasefire proposal as the conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran enters its 37th day. The next 48 hours will determine whether the international community witnesses a diplomatic breakthrough or a transition into total unrestricted warfare. Joint military operations by Israel and the United States escalated on Monday with a series of coordinated airstrikes targeting Iranian urban centers and strategic locations, resulting in the deaths of at least 25 individuals.
Iranian state media confirmed on Monday the death of Maj. Gen. Majid Khademi, the head of intelligence for the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, who the Guard has blamed the United States and Israel for the targeted attack. In response, Tehran launched missile and drone attacks against Israel and several Gulf Arab states. In the northern Israeli city of Haifa, authorities recovered two bodies from the debris of a seven-story residential building. Iran's military joint command warned on Sunday that they will step up retaliatory attacks on regional oil and civilian infrastructure, with a spokesman stating via the IRNA news agency, "Our responses will be more forceful."
A strike near Eslamshahr claimed 13 lives. In the densely populated Baharestan County, 13 people were killed when two residential buildings were destroyed; state media reports that six children under the age of 10 are among the dead. These latest figures contribute to a death toll that has surpassed 1,900 people in Iran since the commencement of hostilities on February 28.
Quick Summary
