The Trump administration has offered Tehran a 15-point ceasefire plan, according to reports.

The plan includes Iran dismantling its main nuclear sites and ending uranium enrichment, temporarily ending its ballistic missile program and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing officials.

As part of the plan, Iranian nuclear-related sanctions would be lifted, and the US would help with the country’s civilian nuclear program, according to the publication.

Israeli strikes in Lebanon have killed at least 9 and injured dozens more, the Associated Press reported, citing the country’s health ministry.

Three people reportedly died, and another 18 were wounded in Nabatiyeh province in the recent strikes.

Another six were killed, and five were injured in Sidon province, the AP reported, and 29 others were wounded in Tyre province.

More than 1,000 people in Lebanon have been killed and nearly 3,000 others injured since March 2 in Israel’s bombing campaign, the Lebanese health ministry said.

The Pentagon has ordered about 2,000 soldiers from the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division to help in the Iran war, two defense officials told The New York Times Tuesday local time.

This deployment is on top of the roughly 2,500 Marines from the 31st Expeditionary Unit that are reportedly set to arrive in the Middle East this week.

Nearly 300 American troops have been injured since the Iran war started more than three weeks ago, according to the US military.

There have also been 13 US service members killed amid the war.

The president’s overall approval rating is now at 36 percent, marking its lowest point since he took office last year, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released Tuesday.

The president’s economic approval rating also appears to be falling as Americans face soaring gas prices amid the war. About 25 percent of respondents approve of the way Trump is handling the cost of living in the U.S., the poll found.

“All because Trump started war with no plan and no idea how it would affect everyday Americans,” Kelly wrote on X. “I’m fighting to suspend the federal gas tax to bring families some relief, but what they really need is a president focused on lowering their costs.”

A drone attack targeting a fuel tank at Kuwait International Airport has caused a fire, the country’s civil aviation authority said.

Chinese foreign minister Wang called on Tuesday on parties to seize all opportunities to start peace talks as soon as possible in a phone call with his Iranian counterpart Abbas Aragchi, according to a statement from Wang’s ministry.

Talking is always better than fighting, Wang told Aragchi, adding that “all hotspot issues should be resolved through dialogue and negotiation, not by using force”.

According to Iranian state media on Wednesday, Araqchi had responded by saying: “Iran’s serious expectation from the member states of the Security Council, especially China and Russia, is to prevent the US from continuing to abuse the council by taking a firm stance in condemning the aggression of the US and the Zionist regime (Israel)”.
