US EditionIran wants me to be their Supreme Leader but I refused: Trump

- To support ongoing strikes, Trump is moving thousands of airborne troops and marines to the Gulf while the White House maintains a four to six-week conflict timeline for military operations.
- Washington sent Tehran a 15-point peace plan via Pakistan calling for halting uranium enrichment and cutting regional funding, yet Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated, "We do not intend to negotiate."
- Japan released strategic oil reserves to cushion impacts, while the Philippines suspended wholesale electricity trading due to fuel risks, and the World Food Programme warns millions face acute hunger if conflict continues.
- China's top diplomat Wang Yi told Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty that Beijing sees a "glimmer of hope" for peace, as China urges dialogue between Tehran and Washington.
