US President Donald Trump has expressed dissatisfaction with Iran’s latest peace proposal, saying “they’re asking for things I can’t agree to”, and warned against “early” end to the conflict “and have this kind of problem arise in three more years”.
The US has warned shipping that pays tolls or other fees to Iran to transit the Strait of Hormuz risks being sanctioned by Washington. Aljazeera reported.
A new Washington Post-ABC-Ipsos poll has found that 61 percent of respondents in the US believe President Trump’s use of military force against Iran was mistaken.
China’s ambassador to the United Nations, Fu Cong, says it is crucial that the ceasefire in the US-Israel war on Iran remains in place, and the Strait of Hormuz issue would be high on the agenda if it is still closed when President Trump visits China later this month.
Lebanon’s Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said the ceasefire declared with Israel is allowing Israel’s forces to “escalate” aggression, with reports of at least 16 people killed in Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon on Friday, a day after more than 30 people were killed, the Lebanese National News Agency reports.
