Iran has responded defiantly to the latest peace proposal from the United States, asserting it will not capitulate in the face of threats. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized that negotiations do not signify surrender. This response follows Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's insistence that the conflict will persist until Iran's enriched uranium is eliminated and its nuclear facilities dismantled. Amid these tensions, fresh drone attacks in the Gulf region have rattled the ceasefire, with the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait reporting attempted strikes attributed to Iranian drones. Iran has warned of a strong response to any US military actions, with the Iranian parliament's national security commission stating that their restraint has ended. Meanwhile, international efforts led by Britain and France are underway to secure the vital Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has previously blocked, causing global oil prices to surge. Iran maintains that only it can ensure security in the strait, rejecting any foreign interference.
