Iran War Live Updates: Trump Says Cease-Fire Is on 'Life Support’

Key Points:

• Talks between the U.S. and Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the conflict have stalled, with Iran demanding U.S. war reparations, recognition of its sovereignty over the strait, and an end to American sanctions, which the U.S. has rejected as unacceptable.
• The temporary cease-fire in the Persian Gulf is fragile, with ongoing small-scale attacks including Iranian drone strikes on the UAE and U.S. military responses, complicating efforts to negotiate a comprehensive peace deal.
• President Trump dismissed Iran’s counterproposal harshly, while also indicating U.S. surveillance of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, a key point of contention in nuclear negotiations.
• Meanwhile, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged citizens to reduce fuel consumption and foreign spending to conserve foreign exchange amid economic strains caused by the conflict and energy shortages linked to the Strait of Hormuz blockade.
• Human rights concerns persist as Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi remains imprisoned in Iran under harsh conditions, highlighting ongoing repression amid the geopolitical crisis.
