Highlights: Iran strikes Israeli cities, US bases as war enters day 27; Washington says it 'will hit harder'
Tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate sharply as diplomatic signals from Tehran and Washington remain deeply contradictory. Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi has firmly rejected claims of ongoing negotiations with the United States, insisting that Tehran’s current policy is rooted in “resistance” rather than dialogue.
Speaking on state television, he dismissed any talk of negotiations as premature and even as an “admission of defeat,” underscoring Iran’s hardened stance amid nearly a month of active conflict.
Trump administration had proposed a 15-point ceasefire plan to Iran, according to a person familiar with the proposal, even as the US military prepares to deploy at least 1,000 additional troops to a region where around 50,000 are already stationed.
The proposal was conveyed to Tehran through intermediaries from Pakistan, which has also offered to host renewed talks between Washington and Tehran. The New York Times earlier reported that the plan had already been delivered to Iranian officials.
At the same time, the Pentagon is deploying two Marine Expeditionary Units, adding roughly 5,000 Marines and thousands of sailors to the region. Israeli officials, who have been urging Donald Trump to continue military action against Iran, were reportedly caught off guard by the ceasefire proposal. The move is being framed as an attempt by Trump to maintain “maximum flexibility” as the situation evolves. The White House has not commented.
Earlier, Trump said the US was engaged in talks with Iran to end the conflict, even as fighting intensified, with airstrikes hitting Iranian targets and Tehran launching missiles and drones toward Israel and other locations. Iran, however, has denied that any negotiations are underway. Meanwhile, tensions around the Strait of Hormuz have disrupted global shipping, driven up fuel prices and raised concerns about the global economy.
Any potential negotiations face significant hurdles. Disagreements over Iran’s missile and nuclear programmes persist, and it remains unclear who within Iran’s leadership would be authorised—or willing—to negotiate amid ongoing Israeli strikes. Tehran also remains deeply distrustful of Washington following past attacks during diplomatic engagements.
Separately, at least 1,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division are expected to be deployed to the Middle East in the coming days. Known as a rapid-response force, the unit is trained for operations in hostile environments, including securing key infrastructure. The Marine deployments have also fuelled speculation that the US could attempt to seize Kharg Island, a critical node in Iran’s oil network. Iran has warned it could mine the Persian Gulf if US troops appear poised to land.
Trump has also held off on earlier threats to target Iran’s power infrastructure as talks potentially take shape, a move analysts say could buy time for military positioning while leaving the door open for a diplomatic off-ramp.

Iran-Israel War: Israel says will take 'control' of security zone in south Lebanon
Israel said on Tuesday that its military would take control of south Lebanon up to the Litani River, around 30 kilometres (20 miles) from the border, as deadly strikes pounded the country.
In the latest unprecedented step by Lebanese authorities since a new war erupted between Israel and Hezbollah, Beirut's foreign ministry declared the Iranian ambassador persona non grata, giving him until Sunday to leave the country.
Hezbollah strongly objected to the move, calling on the government to reverse it.
Lebanon was pulled into the Middle East war when the Tehran-backed Hezbollah militant group began firing rockets into Israel on March 2 to avenge the killing of Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Israel has since launched strikes across Lebanon, killing at least 1,072 people and displacing more than a million others in more than three weeks of fighting. It has also sent ground troops into the country's south.

Iran news: France urges Israel 'to refrain' from seizing south Lebanon zone
Israel should "refrain" from sending in forces to take control of a zone in south Lebanon, France's foreign minister told AFP on Tuesday, warning that such a move would have "major humanitarian consequences".
"We urge the Israeli authorities to refrain from such ground operations, which would have major humanitarian consequences and would exacerbate the country's already dire situation," Jean-Noel Barrot said in an interview with news agency AFP.
His comments came after Israel earlier said its military would take control of south Lebanon up to the Litani River, around 30 kilometres (20 miles) from the border.

Iran-Israel WarIran-Israel War: 'No talks with US' - Iran rejects Trump’s negotiation claims, says meant to manipulate markets
Iran’s Ambassador to India, Dr Mohammad Fathali, said there are currently no negotiations underway with the United States, dismissing claims made by US President Donald Trump.
He said, “According to Iranian officials, there are currently no negotiations underway with the United States, neither direct nor indirect. The claim made by Donald Trump on social media appears to be aimed more at manipulating financial and oil markets and escaping the difficult situation in which the United States and Israel find themselves,” news agency ANI reported.
Rejecting Trump’s warning, he added, “We neither fear Trump’s 48-hour ultimatum nor consider his calls for talks to be genuine.” Fathali further said, “From our perspective, unless there is a real change in the behaviour of the opposing side, there is fundamentally no basis for the formation of any diplomatic path. The United States speaks of dialogue while simultaneously carrying out attacks against our economic and civilian infrastructure, and under such circumstances, any talk of negotiations is effectively meaningless.”

Iran war news: Israel vows continued strikes despite US restraint on energy targets
Israel will continue its military operations against Iran and Lebanon, focusing on key military targets, despite the United States holding back on striking energy infrastructure, Israel’s Ambassador to India Reuven Azar said. Responding to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s remarks, Azar said, "We are continuing the operation because we still have military targets, both over Iran and especially in Lebanon, as a result of the Hezbollah continuation of the attacks against us, they are firing missiles and rockets against Israel. They started unilaterally, and they should know that this is completely unacceptable. We will do whatever we need in order to defend ourselves. So, the fact that the President of the United States has temporarily decided not to fulfil the threat of hitting energy targets, doesn't mean that we won't continue targeting military targets as we are doing..."

Missiles fly despite US peace push, no let-up in Iran-Israel war
Airstrikes pounded Iran while Iranian missiles and drones targeted Tel Aviv and other sites across the Middle East on Tuesday, underscoring the continuation of intense hostilities even as US President Donald Trump said Washington was in talks with Tehran to end the war.
The continued exchange of heavy barrages from both sides suggests little immediate prospect of de-escalation, as per the Associated Press reports. Thousands of additional US Marines are being deployed to the Gulf, and the conflict’s pace remains high, a day after Trump delayed his self-imposed deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s control over the critical waterway has disrupted global shipping, driven fuel prices sharply higher, and raised concerns over the wider world economy.
While the US has signalled openness to negotiations, Tehran has denied that any talks are underway, highlighting a significant gap between diplomatic messaging and ground realities. Even if talks were to begin, they would face major obstacles, including disagreements over Iran’s ballistic missile and nuclear programmes—long-standing sticking points in US-Iran relations.
Uncertainty also surrounds who within Iran’s leadership would be willing or authorised to negotiate, particularly as Israel continues targeting senior figures. Tehran remains deeply distrustful of Washington, especially after previous US strikes during periods of high-level diplomatic engagement, including the February 28 attacks that triggered the current conflict.

Iran war news: Qatar warns Gulf security system has ‘broken down’ amid escalating war

Qatar foreign ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari, speaking in Doha, declared the conflict's "most important outcome" as the outright "breakdown" of this system, stressing that Gulf states must now confront a post-war reality.
"The Gulf states, which have been working closely and in parallel to ensure their security, are in need of a post-war re-evaluation of what a shared regional security framework truly entails," he added.

US Iran war: US allies Saudi, UAE move closer to joining Iran war, report says
Key US allies in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, are moving closer to backing military action against Iran, according to a report. The shift comes after repeated Iranian attacks that have disrupted their economies and raised concerns over Tehran’s influence on the Strait of Hormuz.
The Wall Street Journal report said both countries are increasingly aligning with the United States and Israel, taking steps that could support airstrikes and widen pressure on Iran’s financial networks. However, they have not yet committed to directly deploying their militaries in the conflict.

The Iran war has continues unabated, with military escalation spreading across the Middle East even as diplomatic signals remain deeply contradictory. At the centre of the confusion is the sharp disconnect between US President Donald Trump’s claim that Iran “wants to make a deal” and Tehran’s outright denial that any negotiations are taking place.
On the ground, the conflict continues to intensify. Israeli strikes on Lebanon have killed over 1,000 people and displaced nearly a million, while Iran has reported more than 1,500 deaths. Casualties have also been recorded in Israel and among US troops, underlining how the war has already moved beyond a limited confrontation into a wider regional crisis. The involvement of multiple actors, from Iran-backed militias in Iraq to actions by Iran, the US, and Israel, has increased the risk of a prolonged, multi-front conflict with no clear exit.
At the same time, the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz remains a key pressure point. Trump’s decision to delay strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure has temporarily eased global tensions, particularly in energy markets. Oil prices, which had surged past $100 per barrel amid fears of supply disruptions, showed signs of stabilising after the announcement. However, markets remain highly sensitive to developments, with sharp swings reflecting the uncertainty around how the conflict may evolve.
The war’s geopolitical complexity is further deepened by emerging international alignments. Ukraine has warned of growing military cooperation between Russia and Iran, particularly in drone warfare and intelligence sharing. This raises concerns that the conflict could intersect with other global flashpoints, potentially drawing in more countries and widening its impact beyond the Middle East.
Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts are quietly underway behind the scenes. Countries like Egypt, Turkey, Oman and Pakistan are reportedly acting as intermediaries, attempting to de-escalate tensions and prevent attacks on critical energy infrastructure. While these backchannel efforts suggest that communication has not completely broken down, public statements from both Washington and Tehran indicate that trust remains extremely low and positions remain far apart.
Humanitarian concerns are also mounting. Millions have been displaced across Iran and Lebanon, while repeated strikes on infrastructure, including power grids and oil facilities, threaten to worsen living conditions. In several areas, access to electricity and basic services has already been disrupted. Beyond the region, the economic impact is being felt globally. Rising fuel prices have pushed up transport and daily costs, forcing households in many countries to cut back on routine spending.
