Live updates: Trump calls Iranian response to US peace proposal ‘totally unacceptable’ - CNN

Iran has responded to a US peace proposal, delivering its message through a Pakistani mediator, according to Iranian news agency IRNA, which did not provide any details on the terms being considered.

The US laid out a “very clear red line” in its latest proposal, according to Mike Waltz, the US ambassador to the United Nations. “President (Donald) Trump has been clear they will never have a nuclear weapon and they cannot hold the world’s economies hostage,” Waltz said in an interview on “Fox News Sunday.”

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian took a defiant tone, even as the negotiations progressed Sunday. “We will never bow our heads before the enemy, and if talk of dialogue or negotiation arises, it does not mean surrender or retreat,” he wrote on X.

Here’s what else we’re covering:

Internet blackout: An internet blackout imposed by the Iranian government has entered its third month, according to NetBlocks — and there is no indication as to when it will end. The blackout has now surpassed 1704 hours, the monitoring group said.

Netanyahu on Iran: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there is still “work to be done” in Iran, emphasizing that Tehran retains many of the capabilities it had when the US and Israel first launched their joint attacks. He said Iran has not given up its enriched uranium or dismantled its nuclear sites, nor has it stopped supporting its regional proxies or agreed to any limits to its ballistic missile program.

Regional attacks: The United Arab Emirates said its air defenses dealt with two drones that had been launched from Iran earlier Sunday, reporting no casualties. Earlier, Kuwait also said a number of “hostile drones” had entered its airspace.

In Lebanon: Meanwhile, the Israeli military announced new strikes in southern Lebanon on Sunday, saying it struck targets belonging to the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah.
