Iran-US war live: Tehran to respond to Trump’s peace plan as Rubio criticises Nato

Iran warned of a ‘heavy assault’ on US assets in the Middle East if there are further attacks on ships, as President Donald Trump expects to receive a response from Iran regarding a ceasefire agreement soon. The US and Iran continue to engage in hostilities, and the UK is redeploying the HMS Dragon to the Middle East to safeguard shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi criticized the US for consistently opting for a ‘reckless military adventure’ when a ‘diplomatic solution’ is on the table.
