The UAE insists that any US-Iran settlement must guarantee free passage through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil artery. UAE warned that a ceasefire without addressing Iran's nuclear program and missile threats would be insufficient. US President Donald Trump has threatened further military action if Iran fails to reopen the strait by his deadline.
Israel struck and killed the intelligence chief of Iran's Revolutionary Guards amid escalating pressure from US President Trump regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Both sides continued barrages of missile and drone attacks, with Iran maintaining a hardline stance against Trump's threats. Meanwhile, a 45-day ceasefire deal mediated by Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey is reportedly under discussion.
Iran rejected the proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a temporary ceasefire, stating that talks are incompatible with threats. Tehran submitted a 10-point response to US proposals, which officials described as 'maximalist,' leaving the path forward uncertain. President Trump insisted negotiations were ongoing but also threatened to destroy everything if a deal was not reached.
The US and Iran are discussing a framework for a peace plan to end their five-week conflict, but Iran rejects immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

President Trump threatened to attack Iranian power plants and bridges on Tuesday and seize Iranian oil if Tehran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz or reach a deal. Iran responded by warning that the US is being dragged into a 'living hell' and labeled Trump's threats as 'incitement to war crimes.' These strong statements are escalating military tensions in the Middle East.
