Iran Proposes Ceasefire Amid Tensions Over Strait of Hormuz Control
Iran has sent a revised ceasefire proposal to the United States through Pakistani mediators, as tensions continue over the control of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has reiterated the country's intention to maintain control over the strait, a crucial passage for global oil supply. This move comes amid U.S. President Trump's demands for Iran to dismantle its nuclear and missile capabilities. The U.S. Central Command has prepared plans for potential military action against Iran, including strikes on infrastructure and operations to secure the strait for commercial shipping. Iran has also begun charging transit fees for ships passing through the strait, a move condemned by Gulf states as piracy.
