DUBAI, United Arab Emirates \u2014 Iran has sent its response to the latest U.S. ceasefire proposal via Pakistani mediators and wants negotiations to focus on permanently ending the war, Tehran’s state-run media said Sunday. Pakistan confirmed receiving it.<\/p>\n

\n

Iran seeks to end the war on all fronts, including in Lebanon, where Israel is fighting the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group, and to ensure the security of shipping, state TV said. Washington\u2019s latest proposal addressed a deal to end the war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and roll back Iran\u2019s nuclear program.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The White House had no immediate comment but U.S. President Donald Trump on social media accused Tehran of \u201cplaying games\u201d with the United States for nearly 50 years, adding: “They will be laughing no longer!”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Trump is giving diplomacy \u201cevery chance we possibly can before going back to hostilities,\u201d the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, told ABC earlier.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, who has not been seen or heard publicly since the war began, \u201cissued new and decisive directives for the continuation of operations and the powerful confrontation with the enemies\u201d while meeting with the head of the joint military command, the state broadcaster reported, with no details.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Drone attacks target Gulf Arab nations
\n<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n

The fragile ceasefire was tested when a drone ignited a small fire on a ship off Qatar and the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait reported drones entering their airspace. The UAE said it shot down two drones and blamed Iran. No casualties were reported, and no one immediately claimed responsibility.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Qatar’s Foreign Ministry called the ship attack a \u201cdangerous and unacceptable escalation that threatens the security and safety of maritime trade routes and vital supplies in the region.” The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Center gave no details about the ship’s owner or origin.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Kuwait Defense Ministry spokesperson Brig. Gen. Saud Abdulaziz Al Otaibi said forces responded to drones but did not say where they came from.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Iran and armed allied groups like\u00a0Hezbollah in Lebanon have used drones to carry out hundreds of strikes since the war began with U.S. and Israeli attacks on Feb. 28.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Iran says it’s on \u2018full readiness\u2019 to protect nuclear sites
\n<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n

Trump has\u00a0reiterated threats to resume full-scale bombing if Iran does not accept an agreement to reopen the strait and roll back its nuclear program. Iran has largely blocked the strategic waterway that’s key to the global flow of oil, natural gas and fertilizer since the war began,\u00a0rattling world markets.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The U.S. military in turn has blockaded Iranian ports since April 13, saying it has turned back 61 commercial vessels and disabled four. On Friday, it struck two Iranian oil tankers it said were trying to breach the blockade. Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guard navy says any\u00a0attack on Iranian oil tankers or commercial vessels would be met with a \u201cheavy assault\u201d on U.S. bases in the region and enemy ships.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Another sticking point in negotiations is Iran\u2019s highly enriched uranium. The U.N. nuclear agency says Iran has more than 440 kilograms (970 pounds) enriched up to 60% purity, a short, technical step from weapons grade.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

In an interview posted late Saturday, an Iranian military spokesperson said forces were on \u201cfull readiness\u201d to protect sites where uranium is stored.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe considered it possible that they might intend to steal it through infiltration operations or heli-borne operations,\u201d Brig. Gen. Akrami Nia told the IRNA news agency.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an excerpt of an interview with CBS airing Sunday said the war isn’t over because the enriched uranium needs to be taken out of Iran. \u201cTrump has said to me, \u2018I want to go in there,\u2019 and I think it can be done physically,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Saturday that Moscow\u2019s proposal to take enriched uranium from Iran to help negotiate a settlement remains on the table.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The majority of Iran\u2019s highly enriched uranium is likely at its Isfahan nuclear complex, the International Atomic Energy Agency director-general told The Associated Press last month. The facility was hit by U.S.-Israeli airstrikes in the 12-day war last year and faced less intense attacks this year.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Iran warns against French-British effort in the strait
\n<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n

Iran’s deputy foreign minister warned against a planned French-British effort that aims to support maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz after hostilities are over.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe presence of French and British vessels, or those of any other country, for any possible cooperation with illegal U.S. actions in the Strait of Hormuz that violate international law will be met with a decisive and immediate response from the armed forces,\u201d Kazem Gharibabadi said on social media.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

French President Emmanuel Macron responded by saying it won’t be a military deployment but an international mission to secure shipping once conditions allow.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Several attacks against ships in the Persian Gulf have occurred over the past week, and a U.S. effort to \u201cguide\u201d ships through the strait was quickly paused.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

South Korea announced initial findings from an investigation that said two unidentified objects struck the South Korean-operated vessel HMM NAMU about one minute apart while it was anchored in the strait last week, causing an explosion and fire. A foreign ministry spokesperson said officials have yet to determine who was responsible.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
