Iran has not disclosed its response to the US plan

 Iran has not disclosed its response to the US plan,

and questioned its seriousness.

Iran has expressed distrust in the US intentions regarding peace negotiations and is awaiting a response to the US plan.

Today, Iran questioned the seriousness of US diplomatic negotiations to resolve the conflict in the Middle East. However, Iran has not yet commented on Washington's latest proposal.

One month after the ceasefire came into effect, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi expressed skepticism during a phone call with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan the day after renewed clashes in the Persian Gulf.

Araghchi, according to Iran's ISNA news agency, said, "The recent escalation of tensions by American forces and the multiple violations of the ceasefire further raise doubts about the motives and seriousness of the American side in the diplomatic path."

In Washington, President Donald Trump said on Friday that he expected a response from Iran regarding a proposal to permanently end the conflict by evening. “I should receive the letter tonight, so we’ll see what happens next,” he told reporters.

Esmail Bagai, spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, said, according to state television, that… Iran is still considering the US proposal.

US – Iran: Naval clashes continue.

Yesterday, Friday, the US military announced it had "destroyed" two Iranian oil tankers from the air in the Gulf of Oman, the gateway to the Strait of Hormuz.

Although the ships were empty of cargo, according to the military report, images released by the US Command for the Region (CENTOM) showed thick smoke rising from the vessels.

Tehran condemned the action to the United Nations as a "blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement."

A military source cited by the Tasnim news agency confirmed that Iranian forces had retaliated. “After a period of exchange of fire, the clashes ended and the situation returned to calm,” he said.

The United Kingdom announced today that it will deploy the destroyer HMS Dragon, currently stationed in the Mediterranean, to the Middle East in preparation for future international missions to ensure maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz.

Additionally, satellite images released Friday revealed an oil slick of approximately 50 square kilometers in the Persian Gulf off the coast of Iran’s Kharg Island, a major oil export port. This is where over 90% of Iranian crude oil typically passes through.

According to Conflict and Environment Monitor, a UK-based nonprofit, the oil spill was "significantly contained" today.

The head of the Iranian parliament's energy committee told the ISNA news agency today that "there is no official information about an oil spill near Kharg Island."
