We’re still waiting on Iran’s response to the US’s proposal for peace. Now both sides say they want at least *** temporary agreement to end the war, but there are fresh doubts tonight as the two sides keep attacking each other in and around the Strait of Hormuz. We have new video today from US Central Command showing American forces firing on Iranian tankers in the Strait. The US says those ships were trying to get through the American blockade, and it comes just *** day after the Pentagon said it carried out what they call. Self-defense strikes on Iranian targets after Iran fired on three US destroyers who were escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump described that operation as *** success, saying the destroyers made it through without any damage while US forces destroyed Iranian missiles, drones, and small boats. He also told Iran to accept the deal on the table or the US could hit back harder. But again, Iran has yet to respond. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said earlier today he hopes to have *** serious offer from Iran by later today. The president notably had one public event, but he did not mention the war at the White House. I’m Christopher Sales.
