- Democrats slam Trump's assertion that Iran war is over, with Trump sending a formal letter to congressional leaders claiming no further authorization is needed for military operations, according to The Guardian US.
- Iran submits a new peace proposal to the US through Pakistani mediators, but Trump expresses dissatisfaction, with White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly stating that "President Trump has been clear that Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon".
- The White House refuses to disclose details of private diplomatic conversations regarding Iran's proposal, amid concerns of an imminent military strike and criticism of the administration's lack of a coherent strategy, as noted by sources and Secretary Hegseth's hearing.
JUSTICE MATTERS
The Guardian US and The New York Times use distinct language to describe the situation, with The Guardian US quoting a source stating "an imminent military strike is very much on the table" and using the phrase "claims hostilities have ended in Iran", while The New York Times reports that Trump "asserted that the hostilities had 'terminated'" in a more neutral tone. In contrast, the BBC uses the phrase "ceasefire means he does not need their approval for Iran war", which may downplay the complexity of the situation. This difference in wording obscures the potential for ongoing conflict and the lack of a clear strategy, as highlighted by The Guardian US's source.
