Overview
- Pakistan and China unveiled a proposal that calls for an immediate cease-fire, the start of talks, a halt to strikes on non-military targets, protection of key shipping lanes, and a UN-supported agreement.
- Just the News reports the U.S. is unlikely to accept the plan because it does not address uranium enrichment or broader nuclear restrictions.
- Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said Trump has offered differing timelines for the war and that only the president will decide when goals have been met.
- The conflict shows no sign of ending as it nears the five-week mark despite Trump’s repeated claims that the war was over or nearly won.
- Pakistan has acted as a go-between for Washington and Tehran, and China faces allegations it has helped Iran against the U.S.
