Trump says Iran offers U.S. 'prize,' but Iran denies talks : NPR

Key Points:

• President Trump claimed Iran made a significant offer related to the Strait of Hormuz in talks with the U.S., though Iranian officials deny negotiations are underway; backchannel efforts involving Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey are reportedly facilitating dialogue.
• Iran fired multiple missiles at Israel on Tuesday, causing damage and injuring at least six people in Tel Aviv; Israeli defense systems failed to intercept one missile with a 220-pound warhead, and Israeli strikes have killed several in Lebanon and Iran.
• Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif publicly offered to host U.S.-Iran peace talks, reflecting Pakistan's role as a mediator with good relations with both sides, though neither the U.S. nor Iran have officially responded.
• Iranians fleeing the conflict expressed relief at the temporary delay in U.S. strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure but fear a deal might preserve the current Iranian government; many support the U.S. and Israeli military actions against Iran's leadership.
• Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon killed at least two people near Beirut and targeted Hezbollah militants, contributing to over one million displaced Lebanese; Israel has threatened further destruction in Lebanon, actions criticized by Human Rights Watch as potential war crimes.
