The day began with reports that Trump had paused 'Project Freedom' in the Strait of Hormuz, citing progress in talks with Iran. By mid-morning, the White House expected an Iranian response within 48 hours, and a framework agreement seemed near. However, Iran rejected parts of the proposal, calling it a US wish list. In the afternoon, Trump issued a one-week ultimatum, threatening massive bombings if no deal was reached. Meanwhile, Israel struck Beirut for the first time since the ceasefire, targeting and reportedly killing the commander of Hezbollah's Radwan Force. The strike was coordinated with the US, according to Israeli officials. The day ended with Trump clarifying that the one-week timeframe was not a deadline, but progress was expected soon.
