Iran-US-Israel War News Live Updates: Iran has formally conveyed its response to the latest US proposal aimed at ending the ongoing conflict, with the communication delivered through Pakistan, which is acting as a mediator in the negotiations, IRNA News Agency has reported citing a source familiar to the matter. A Pakistani government official has confirmed that Iran’s response to the latest US proposal on the war has been received and forwarded to Washington, according to Reuters.
Gas carrier, Al-Kharaitiyat, operated by a Qatar-based company, Sunday crossed the Strait of Hormuz, according to navigational data from Marine Traffic — the first such crossing since the start of the war on February 28, Al Jazeera reported. It has departed from the Qatari port of Ras Laffan and is scheduled to unload its cargo at Port Qasim in Pakistan, the report stated. It appeared yesterday at the Hormuz, and then hid its signal for about 14 hours.

Meanwhile, despite a fragile Iran-US ceasefire holding amid sporadic Strait of Hormuz clashes, violence continued as Israeli bombardment of Lebanon killed at least 24 people. The IRGC warned that any attack on Iranian oil tankers or commercial ships would trigger strikes on US bases and “enemy ships” in the region, while Washington said it was optimistic Tehran would respond to its latest proposal to end the war. CENTCOM added that since April 13 it has “disabled” four ships and blocked 58 vessels from entering or exiting Iranian ports.
The Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world’s oil and LNG passes, remains the epicentre of this volatility. With energy prices surging and diplomatic channels fraying, the international community is watching for Tehran’s next move.
