Trump says we're 'blowing up the whole country' if Iran doesn't make deal in 48 hours

Pakistan and China released a five-point peace proposal to end the war with Iran aimed at "restoring peace and stability in the Gulf and Middle East," Pakistan's Foreign Ministry released in post on X.

The plan includes a call for an immediate ceasefire, starting peace talks immediately and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

The initiative come hours after Pakistani Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar arrived in Beijing and met with China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi Tuesday.

The Israel Defense Forces issued a second warning to Beirut residents living in another neighborhood in southern Beirut. This comes hours after ordering another neighborhood to evacuate before strikes began.

The IDF said it is targeting Hezbollah there.

At least 1,268 people have been killed and 3,750 have been injured in Lebanon since Israeli strikes began on March 2, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth confirmed a video posted by President Donald Trump on Monday was an ammunition depot in Isfahan that was left destroyed by U.S. bombers.

"You don't get to see many of those videos, because, as a reminder, Iran has still shut off the internet to 99.9% of its population," Hegseth told reporters at a Pentagon press briefing Tuesday.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine provided operational updates, noting the U.S. has begun B-52 bomber missions over Iranian territory, and noting for the first time the U.S. has targeted "nuclear weapons research and development labs."

"Given the increase in air superiority, we've successfully started to conduct the first overland B-52 missions, which allow us, as we've said before, to continue to get on top of the enemy,” Caine said.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth did not rule out the possibility of putting American troops on the ground in Iran when asked at a Pentagon press briefing Tuesday.

"We're not going to foreclose any option," Hegseth said.

"You can't fight and win a war if you tell your adversary what you are willing to do or what you are not willing to do, to include boots on the ground. The end. Our adversary right now thinks there are 15 different ways we could come at them with boots on the ground. And guess what? There are," Hegseth said.

Hegseth said this could be one option of many, with others including successful negotiations.

"So if we needed to, we could execute those options on behalf of the president of the United States and this department, or maybe we don't have to use them at all," Hegseth said.
