Arms Sales

President Trump expressed doubt that Iran's 14-point peace proposal is acceptable, warning strikes could resume, while Israeli airstrikes killed at least 13 in southern Lebanon and the IDF issued evacuation orders for 11 towns. The US fast-tracked $8.6 billion in arms sales to Middle East allies, and Spain demanded the release of a Spanish activist detained from a Gaza aid flotilla.

President Trump rejected Iran's latest peace proposal, saying he is 'not satisfied' and is considering the option to 'blast the hell out of' Iran if talks fail. The rejection came as the White House notified Congress that hostilities with Iran have 'terminated,' a claim disputed by ongoing Israeli strikes in Lebanon and a collapsed Strait of Hormuz transit. Hezbollah drone attacks wounded four Israeli troops, prompting the IDF to tighten security restrictions in northern Israel and issue evacuation orders for a south Lebanon town. The US approved $8.6 billion in arms sales to Israel and Gulf allies, and the Pentagon announced the withdrawal of 5,000 troops from Germany amid tensions with European allies over the Iran war.
