Trump says US will guide ships out of Strait of Hormuz

President Trump told Congress this week that hostilities "have terminated."

President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.

Following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire, initial U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan in April failed to reach a peace deal.

Trump later announced the open-ended extension of the ceasefire and the continuation of the blockade until Iran's proposal is submitted and discussions are concluded "one way or the other."

Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Avichay Adraee on Sunday ordered the residents of 11 Lebanese towns and villages to immediately evacuate their homes, saying the IDF was planning to act "forcefully" against alleged Hezbollah targets in the affected areas.

Trump says he's reviewing new Iranian peace plan, but 'can't imagine' it's acceptable

Trump told reporters Saturday that he had not yet reviewed the new Iranian peace offer but would be doing so later.

“They told me about the concept of the deal. They're going to give me the exact wording now,” he added.

Shortly later, the president confirmed on his social media platform that he was reviewing the plan.

"I will soon be reviewing the plan that Iran has just sent to us, but can’t imagine that it would be acceptable in that they have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to Humanity, and the World, over the last 47 years," he wrote in the post.
