Iran Sends Answer to U.S. Proposal as Gulf Drone Attacks Test Ceasefire

Tehran's reply could open a narrow path to talks.

Overview

  • Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates reported intercepting suspected Iranian drones Sunday, underscoring how a month-old truce keeps fraying.
  • Iran said it delivered its formal response to the U.S. 14-point plan through Pakistan, though both governments kept the details under wraps.
  • The U.S. military said warplanes disabled two Iranian-flagged cargo ships Friday in the Gulf of Oman after exchanges near the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Iran’s Revolutionary Guard warned it would strike U.S. facilities and hostile ships if its tankers are hit, and a freighter near Doha reported damage from an unknown projectile.
  • Diplomacy continued as U.S. officials met Qatar’s prime minister and Pakistan carried on mediating, even after President Trump canceled an envoy trip to Islamabad over what he called an unacceptable Iranian offer.
