  • Iran has reportedly offered a new peace proposal to the US, conveyed via Pakistani mediators, suggesting the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
  • The proposal aims for a permanent end to the conflict, with nuclear negotiations to be addressed at a later stage.
  • The Trump administration has not yet responded to the offer, with officials scheduled to discuss the next steps in a Situation Room meeting.
  • Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, is in Russia to discuss the Middle East situation with Vladimir Putin, following meetings with Pakistani and Omani delegations.
  • Despite ongoing mediation efforts, the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, leading to a nearly 2 per cent rise in Brent crude prices to $107.26 a barrel.
