Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says it set a 30-day deadline for the US military to end its blockade of ports, adding President Trump “must choose between an impossible military operation or a bad deal”.
Trump says he’ll review the plan Iran sent via Pakistan but does not think he can make a deal.
The comments come after Iran sent a 14-point plan to the US calling for guarantees of non-aggression, the lifting of a naval blockade, and an end to the war “on all fronts“, including in Lebanon.
Prices are surging in Iran, and millions of jobs have been lost as the war with the US and Israel causes escalating economic damage.
Food and medicine, cars, electrical devices and petrochemical products are among the many items that cost more this Saturday, the first day of the working week, than a week ago.
A toxic mix of mismanagement, the bombardment of Iran’s infrastructure, US sanctions, and the naval blockade is pummelling the country of more than 90 million people. In addition, the government-imposed, near-total internet shutdown is into its third month.
On top of all that, the national currency, the rial, has sunk to a new all-time low of 1.84 million against the US dollar.
Israeli army intercepts Hezbollah rockets in southern Lebanon
The Israeli army has reported intercepting Hezbollah rockets after alerts were activated in the Menara area, northern Israel. The rockets were reportedly targeting Israeli soldiers now stationed in southern Lebanon.
The army said that its Air Force intercepted one launch, while other rockets fell in open areas, with no casualties. It added that it launched interceptors toward several suspected aerial targets identified in the area where Israeli forces are operating.
