## Resource

Irans latest ceasefire offer, delivered through Pakistani mediators, was rejected by President Trump. The offer sought a full, permanent end to the war, including in Lebanon and secure sea routes. Tensions escalated as drones sparked a small fire on a ship off Qatar and UAE forces downed two drones, blaming Iran. Trump has criticized Irans long history of playing games with America and emphasized diplomacy before military action. Irans new supreme leader ordered ongoing fights and claimed full readiness to protect nuclear sites. Irans uranium enrichment, now at 60%, has raised concerns, with US forces blocking Iranian ports and Iran threatening retaliation against US bases. Trump is considering seizing the uranium, with Netanyahu agreeing its feasible, and Putin offering to remove it for talks. Iran warned against French-British ships patrolling the Strait of Hormuz post-war, and fresh ship attacks and stalled convoys have left the regions shipping lifeline precarious.
