Iran sent a maximalist 10-point peace proposal including safe passage, reconstruction, and lifting sanctions.

Trump called the proposal a significant step but not good enough.

He described Iran as weakened, with no navy or Air Force.

Iran rejected the 45-day ceasefire framework as insincere.

The Iranian response included a safe passage protocol and reconstruction plans.

Global oil shipments through the strait represent about 20% of the total.

The U.S. and Israel killed an estimated 2,000 Iranians in 35 days of strikes.

Trump declined to say if the strikes would be launched before the deadline.

Congressional Democrats demanded briefings on the constitutional basis for the war.

Only 27% of Americans approved of the strikes in a Reuters poll.

Trump acknowledged Iran was negotiating in good faith but the deal has to be acceptable to me.
