The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The United States is weighing a 10-day ceasefire proposal with Iran, put forward by regional mediators including Qatar, Egypt and Pakistan, which would halt hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
- At the same time, Washington is preparing for possible escalation, deploying fighter jets and refuelling aircraft to the Middle East and continuing strikes in response to attacks that have killed at least three US service members.
- Neither side has accepted the proposal, with both appearing to strengthen their positions before any truce, and momentum reportedly stalled after an Iranian missile strike in Jordan killed two US service members.
- The outcome matters because the conflict has pushed oil prices above $90 a barrel and raised concerns over global energy supplies.
What to watch next
- Whether Iran or the US accepts the 10-day ceasefire proposal
- US strikes expected to continue for several more days and Iran's promised strong response
- Discussions on longer-term arrangements for safeguarding maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz
