US Iran War LIVE: Trump is unhappy with Iran’s latest proposal as it fails to address Tehran’s nuclear programme

Iran on Tuesday shared the breakdown of the death toll from the deadly strike on an Iranian school

As per IRIB and local media, Seventy-three boys and 47 girls were killed in the strike on an Iranian elementary school in Minab

The attack happened on February 28 when the United States and Israel launched attacks across Iran. In retaliation, Tehran struck targets in Israel and Gulf nations.

Twenty-six teachers, seven parents, a school bus driver, and a pharmacy technician at the clinic next to the school were also killed, IRIB said in a Telegram post.

Iran signaled it would accept an interim deal with the US where it opens the Strait of Hormuz but only if Washington lift the naval blockade on Iranian ports, according to Axios.

Iranian media said Sunday that Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi would convey to the main mediator Pakistan that the war could end if the Americans lift a naval blockade of Iranian ports, agree to new legal framework for the strait and guarantee no future military action against the Islamic Republic.

Iran told Pakistan that negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program — a longer-standing issue — could be dealt with later, Axios reported

Gold held steady on Tuesday as investors awaited more clarity on stalled peace talks between the United States and Iran, while also watching key central bank meetings this week for signals on whether the Middle East conflict could change the interest rate outlook.

Spot gold was up 0.2% at $4,693.04 per ounce, as of 0053 GMT US gold futures for June delivery rose 0.3% to $4,707.80.

Speaking to Fox News, Marco Rubio said that there won’t be any deal if Iran excludes nuclear programme

“We can’t let them get away with it.”

“We have to ensure that any deal that is made, any agreement that is made, is one that definitively prevents them from sprinting towards a nuclear weapon at any point,” Rubio said.

Iran’s latest proposal said the deal between the two parties would see Tehran lifting its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz if Washington ends its naval blockade on Iranian ports, along with securing a long-term—or even permanent—ceasefire, anAP report said

Also, the proposal doesn’t address the core issue Trump cited when he began bombing on Feb. 28 – finding a way to ensure that Iran cannot build an atomic weapon.

Oil prices extended their gains on Tuesday as efforts to end the Iran war hit another roadblock. For now, the Strait of Hormuz remain shut, keeping energy supplies from the key Middle East producing region out of the reach of global buyers.
