    Iran suspends Hormuz tanker traffic again over Israel's strikes on Lebanon

    Fars said tanker transits were "suspended" after Israeli attacks on Lebanon, having let two tankers through earlier that day, and Iranian state media later said Iran had closed the strait; Tasnim said Tehran was weighing an exit from the ceasefire. The White House called a closure "completely unacceptable" and said it had been told privately the reports were false, while Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf said three clauses of Iran's 10-point framework had been violated, making a ceasefire or talks "unreasonable."

    Netanyahu backs two-week Iran truce but says it does not cover Lebanon

    Netanyahu's office said Israel supports suspending strikes on Iran for two weeks, provided Iran immediately opens the strait and halts attacks, but that "the two-weeks ceasefire does not include Lebanon," contradicting Pakistan's prime minister, who said it applied everywhere including Lebanon. Trump and the White House later said Lebanon was not part of the deal, and Vance called it a "legitimate misunderstanding."

    Iran rejects temporary ceasefire, sends 10-point counterproposal through Pakistan

    IRNA said Iran gave Pakistani mediators its reply to the U.S. 15-point plan, rejecting a temporary ceasefire "based on past experiences" and demanding a permanent end to the war, an end to regional conflicts, a Hormuz safe-passage protocol, reconstruction and sanctions relief. Pakistan had circulated a two-stage framework, an immediate truce to reopen Hormuz followed by 15-20 days to settle terms, and Trump called Iran's reply "significant" but "not good enough."
