Iran says US has responded to its latest peace proposal
Iran claims the US has responded to its 14-point peace proposal delivered via Pakistan, which includes demands for withdrawal of US forces and an end to hostilities. The US has not confirmed sending a response, and President Trump expressed skepticism about the proposal's acceptability while leaving open the possibility of renewed military strikes. Meanwhile, US lawmakers from both parties are questioning the war's objectives and calling for de-escalation or congressional approval for continued military action.
