In the latest developments between the US and Iran, President Donald Trump has stated he is open to a phone call with Iranian leaders, saying, "It's okay if they call." Meanwhile, a US crude oil tanker carrying 910,000 barrels has arrived in Japan, marking the first alternative supply after the Iran strike. However, Trump has canceled the planned dispatch of a US delegation to Pakistan, citing excessive travel time and costs.
Earlier today, Iran reportedly sent a "new proposal" for ending hostilities through Pakistan, but the path to renewed negotiations remains unclear. Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi visited Pakistan for the second consecutive day and later departed for Oman. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has ordered intensified attacks on Hezbollah.
These events come amid ongoing tensions and efforts to de-escalate the conflict. The US delegation's cancellation underscores the logistical challenges in mediating between the two nations.
