Iran war - Day 26 - updates!

IRAN WAR — DAY 26. Here's 10 Latest Updates You Should Probably Know... 1. IRAN REJECTED THE US 15-POINT PROPOSAL. CALLED IT "MAXIMALIST." Tehran confirmed it received the peace plan delivered via Pakistan. A senior Iranian official publicly described it as "unreasonable" and said the war would end only "on Tehran's own terms." Iran's military spokesman went further, mocking Washington: "Don't dress up your defeat as an agreement." 2. IRAN HAS ITS OWN 5 COUNTER-CONDITIONS. Iran's state media outlined Tehran's terms for ending the war: - A complete halt to all strikes, binding guarantees the war won't restart - Full war reparations - Sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz — and all American bases out of the Gulf. The gap between the two sides remains enormous. 3. IRAN IS CHARGING SHIPS A FEE TO PASS THROUGH THE STRAIT. Iran's Foreign Ministry confirmed it will "absolutely" continue collecting passage fees from vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz. That's 20% of the world's oil supply...now effectively a toll road controlled by Tehran. 4. SAUDI ARABIA'S BIGGEST OIL FACILITIES CAME UNDER ATTACK. Iranian drones and missiles targeted Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province...home to Ghawar, the world's largest conventional oilfield, and the Ras Tanura and Abqaiq facilities. Saudi forces shot down at least 32 drones and a ballistic missile in just 11 hours. Any direct hit on Abqaiq alone would remove roughly 7% of global oil supply overnight. 5. 2,000 VESSELS AND 20,000 SAILORS ARE STRANDED IN THE STRAIT. Approximately 2,000 ships and 20,000 seafarers are currently trapped in the Strait of Hormuz — unable to move safely in either direction. This is no longer just an energy crisis. It is a global shipping paralysis. 6. IRAN SHUNNED TRUMP'S CHOSEN NEGOTIATORS. Iranian representatives told the Trump administration they refuse to deal with special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Tehran has said it would only engage with Vice President JD Vance. The structure of any potential talks if they happen is still unresolved. 7. THE UN SECRETARY-GENERAL SAID THE WAR IS "TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL." UN chief António Guterres addressed the Security Council on Day 26, warning that the conflict has spiraled beyond containment and that diplomacy must prevail immediately. Lebanon has now recorded over 1,094 killed. Iraq has seen at least 96 dead. The war has touched 13 countries. 8. THE ISLAMABAD TALKS HAVE NOT BEEN CONFIRMED BY EITHER SIDE. Pakistan offered to host US-Iran talks this week. China's top diplomat urged Iran to engage. France's President Macron called for good-faith negotiations. Egypt and Turkey are pressing both sides. But as of Day 26 — neither Washington nor Tehran has officially confirmed any in-person meeting. If negotiations happen, they will not happen in Islamabad. For it, you need a neutral country with good relationships on both sides. Islamabad may only be acting as a messenger. 9. A PEW RESEARCH POLL FOUND 59% OF AMERICANS SAY THE MILITARY ACTION WAS THE WRONG DECISION. The survey of 3,524 US adults conducted March 16–22 found 61% disapprove of how the war is being handled, and only 25% say military action is going extremely or very well. 10. MORE THAN 1,750 IRANIANS HAVE NOW BEEN KILLED. THE WAR SHOWS NO SIGN OF STOPPING. Iran's deputy representative to the International Maritime Organization confirmed the toll of 1,750+ killed in Iran. Lebanon: 1,094+ dead. Iraq: 96+ dead. US military: 13 service members killed. Israel: 18 civilians killed. Strikes continue. Talks remain unconfirmed. Troops are still deploying. . . Two sides. Fourteen countries affected. Two completely different definitions of what peace looks like. Oil above $100. Shipping paralyzed. Saudi Arabia's most critical oil infrastructure under daily attack.
