Iran US war live updates: Israelis receive mobile alerts as Iranian missile targets residential area in Tehran

Iran US War Live Updates: The Trump administration has reportedly shared a 15-point peace plan with Iran to end the ongoing conflict in the Middle East region, with some reports saying the US has sought a month-long ceasefire to discuss the proposal, which was put through Pakistan. While it is unclear how comprehensive the plan is and whether Iran will accept the proposals, AFP reported, citing multiple media reports, that the document reportedly includes tighter limits on Tehran’s nuclear program and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Meanwhile, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif publicly announced that Islamabad was ready to facilitate talks. “Subject to the consent of the US and Iran, Pakistan is ready and honored to be the host to facilitate meaningful and decisive negotiations for a comprehensive resolution of the current conflict,” he said in a post on Twitter.

Trump took a screenshot of Sharif’s post and shared it on his Truth social account, which is a major turnaround for the US President after repeatedly claiming that the US has “already won the war”.

The president said Tuesday that the U.S. is “in talks right now,” adding that his special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President J.D. Vance were all participants in the talks.

“They’re talking to us, and they’re talking smart. It all starts with saying they can’t have nuclear weapons,” Trump said.

He said that no one knows whom to talk to, but America is talking to the right people. He said, “…they want to make a deal so badly, you have no idea how badly they want to do it.”

More US troops in the Middle East

The 82nd Airborne is considered an emergency response force of the US Army, and is reportedly technically deployed on short notice. It would be the latest deployment of US troops after officials said last week that thousands of Marines aboard several Navy ships were headed to the Middle East.

82nd Airborne soldiers are reportedly trained to parachute into hostile or disputed territory to secure key areas and airfields.

Oil prices fell on Wednesday after Trump reportedly sent a peace plan to Iran. Brent crude oil fell nearly six percent. Brent crude, which had risen above $103 a barrel the previous day, fell to $98.30.

Meanwhile, the benchmark US oil, West Texas Intermediate, fell nearly 5 percent to $87.72.

Iran-Israel tension increased

Amidst the possibility of peace talks between Iran and America, the tension between Israel and Iran does not seem to be reducing.

Iran and Israel have stepped up attacks against each other, with Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz saying the campaign will continue “at full intensity”.

The Israeli military also said Iran fired dozens of missiles at Israel on the first and second days of the war. However, it also said that this number had “fallen sharply”.

India’s PM Modi spoke to Trump

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Donald Trump on phone on Tuesday and confirmed that New Delhi supports the early restoration of peace in the Middle East.

PM Modi also said that he wants to ensure that the Strait of Hormuz remains open and safe for the global community.

PM Modi posted on Twitter that he received a call from the US President and had a “useful exchange of views on the situation in West Asia”.

He said, “India supports early de-escalation and restoration of peace. Ensuring that the Strait of Hormuz remains open, secure and accessible is essential for the entire world.” PM Modi said the two sides agreed to remain in touch “with regard to efforts towards peace and stability”.
