The United States has reportedly sent a 15-point plan to Iran to ease the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, according to international media. The aim is to bring an end to the current hostilities.

Reports from Al Jazeera and The Wall Street Journal indicate that the proposal calls on Iran to dismantle its main nuclear facilities, halt uranium enrichment, suspend its ballistic missile program, reduce support for regional proxy groups, and fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

In return, Washington has promised to lift nuclear-related sanctions on Tehran and provide assistance for its civilian nuclear program.

According to The New York Times, the plan was transmitted through Pakistan, with the country’s army chief, Syed Asim Munir, playing a mediating role between the US and Iran. Islamabad has also indicated readiness to host direct talks if both sides agree.

Reuters confirmed that the plan has been sent to Tehran, though neither country has issued an official comment.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump stated that talks with Iran were “positive” and announced a five-day suspension of attacks on energy infrastructure. Tehran, however, denied that any direct meetings had taken place.

The conflict, which began on February 28 with US and Israeli strikes and Iranian retaliatory attacks, has now entered its fourth week. The exchanges have caused casualties, extensive infrastructure damage, and disruptions in the global energy market.

Analysts say that while the proposal opens a potential diplomatic path, actual progress depends on Iran’s consent, Israel’s position, and the evolving military situation.

The United States has spent around $25 billion so far on the ongoing military conflict involving Iran, according to the Department of Defense. A senior Pentagon official presented the spending details to the US Congress.

Acting Pentagon Comptroller Jules Hurst told a House Armed Services Committee hearing that a large portion of the total cost has gone into ammunition procurement. The committee’s top Democrat, Adam Smith, noted that there had been long-standing demands for transparency on these expenditures and welcomed the release of the figures.

The United States launched military operations against Iran on February 28. Although a ceasefire is currently in effect between the two sides, Washington has maintained an increased military presence in the Middle East. As part of this buildup, three aircraft carrier strike groups along with additional troops have been deployed to the region.

Meanwhile, public opinion in the United States regarding the conflict appears to be shifting. A recent survey shows that support for the operation has declined to 34 percent.

US Vice President JD Vance is set to travel to Pakistan today as part of the second round of peace talks involving Iran and the United States. According to US-based media outlet Axios, he is expected to depart for Islamabad on Tuesday (April 21).

Citing three unnamed US officials, Axios reported that the visit is aimed at discussing a possible ceasefire and a broader agreement with Iran. Vance is likely to leave for Islamabad by Tuesday morning, although exact timing remains uncertain.

Some sources suggest the trip could begin later on Monday night, while others indicate a Tuesday morning departure. A direct flight from Washington to Islamabad takes around 14 hours.

Axios further stated that Iran has already given internal approval for participation in the talks, reportedly with the consent of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei. However, Tehran has not yet publicly confirmed its involvement.

Meanwhile, the UK-based Guardian also confirmed Vance’s planned visit to Pakistan, though it did not cite specific sources.

The report added that US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner are also expected to join Vice President Vance in the negotiations.

IRGC Forces US Navy to Retreat in the Strait of Hormuz

The Strait of Hormuz

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran has reportedly compelled US naval forces to withdraw from positions near the Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf of Oman. The information was reported by Iran’s state-run Press TV.

The incident began around an Iranian-flagged vessel named Touska. While attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, the ship came under interception by US forces. Washington alleged that the vessel violated its imposed naval restrictions. US naval units later targeted the ship and forced it to turn back toward Iranian waters.

In response, IRGC naval units quickly arrived at the scene. According to the report, their rapid deployment and operational presence altered the situation, leading US forces to leave the area.

The development has further escalated tensions between Washington and Tehran, despite an ongoing ceasefire arrangement. The United States has not yet issued any official statement regarding the incident.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most critical maritime chokepoints. At one time, nearly 20 percent of global crude oil and liquefied natural gas passed through this route. Earlier this month, following the collapse of Iran-US talks, Washington tightened naval restrictions in the region, significantly disrupting shipping activity to Iranian ports. Iran’s IRGC had previously imposed a virtual blockade over the same waterway.

Iran has experienced a complete nationwide internet blackout for 37 straight days, setting a new global record, according to internet monitoring organization NetBlocks.

The group reports that this ongoing total disconnection is now the longest ever recorded for any country. Lasting 37 consecutive days—approximately 864 hours—it has surpassed all previous instances of nationwide internet shutdowns.

NetBlocks also noted that while other countries have previously imposed partial or region-specific internet restrictions for extended periods, this is the first time a country has remained entirely disconnected nationwide for such a long duration.

Meanwhile, Qatar-based media outlet Al Jazeera reported that due to this prolonged blackout, ordinary people in Iran have been almost completely cut off from communication with the outside world.

New details have emerged regarding the crew members of a U.S. F-15E fighter jet that crashed during recent clashes in Iran. The United States has claimed that one crew member has been rescued through a special operation conducted after the aircraft went down.

According to a report by Al Jazeera on Sunday (April 5), the second crew member was recovered following intense gunfire. However, the individual has not yet been moved to a fully secure location. A U.S. official stated that the operation is still ongoing to ensure safe extraction.

Meanwhile, Iran’s Tasnim News Agency reported that the pilot of the downed aircraft managed to eject safely. It also claimed that U.S. special forces are continuing operations to recover the pilot.

There are also allegations that multiple strikes were carried out in different areas of Iran’s Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province, based on the suspected location of the pilot.

In addition, reports suggest that another flight crew member is still missing. Operations and strikes are reportedly ongoing in several locations to locate the individual. However, these claims have not been independently verified. The situation remains uncertain, and the operation is still in progress.

Iran has announced that it will allow vessels carrying essential goods and humanitarian supplies to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. According to state media, the key maritime route will not be fully closed, and limited passage will remain available for such shipments.

Shipping activity through the strategically important waterway, which is under Iranian control, has significantly declined in recent days, putting pressure on global energy supplies and international trade.

Several countries are pursuing diplomatic efforts to ensure safe navigation in the region, while a limited number of commercial vessels continue to operate.

Earlier, Iran stated that ships not affiliated with the United States, Israel, or their close allies may be permitted to use the strait.

US Special Forces have launched a special operation inside Iran to rescue a missing crew member after a US fighter jet was shot down in Iranian airspace. The operation reportedly began on Friday night (April 3), according to reports cited by international media.

In a report referencing the British daily The Telegraph, Yahoo News stated that Iran shot down an F-15 Strike Eagle fighter jet. Both crew members managed to eject safely, prompting the United States to immediately begin rescue efforts.

Military helicopters and low-altitude aerial refueling aircraft were deployed in the operation. However, during the mission, both helicopters were damaged by Iranian fire, though they were able to safely return toward Iraq.

The report also said that one of the two crew members was rescued, while the other remains missing. Iranian local media has shown search operations underway, with announcements of a reward for information leading to his capture.

In a separate incident, an A-10 model US aircraft came under Iranian attack during the rescue mission. The pilot was forced to eject into the sea but was later rescued alive.

According to CBS News, citing US officials, two additional US aircraft involved in the rescue of the downed F-15E crew were also targeted during the operation. In one case, an A-10 Warthog was hit, forcing its pilot to jump into the water as an emergency measure.

A helicopter involved in the mission also came under small-arms fire, leaving several crew members injured. Despite this, it managed to land safely. The search for the second missing pilot is still ongoing.

Iran claims another US F-35 shot down in its airspace

Amid rising tensions in the Middle East, Iran has claimed that one of the United States’ advanced F-35 fighter jets was shot down inside its airspace. It has also been suggested that the pilot may not have survived the incident.

On Friday (April 3), international news agency Reuters, citing Iran’s Mehr News Agency, reported the claim. According to Mehr, a powerful explosion occurred during the attack and the pilot was critically injured, with little chance of survival.

However, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) has not issued any official response regarding the incident so far.

Analysts say that if Iran’s claim is confirmed, it could mark a significant escalation in the ongoing regional tensions.

The F-35 is one of the most advanced military aircraft in the US arsenal. Equipped with stealth technology, it is designed to avoid radar detection and can effectively operate even in heavily defended airspace.

About two weeks earlier, Iran made a similar claim. At that time, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) released a video allegedly showing a missile striking a fighter jet in mid-air.

Trump said the Iran campaign has nearly achieved its goals and is in its final phase. He added that stronger strikes could follow if needed to end the conflict quickly.

He claimed that Iran’s naval and missile capabilities have suffered significant damage. However, he did not provide a specific timeline for the end of the war. He also suggested that if a diplomatic solution is not reached, key facilities could be targeted.

Meanwhile, tensions around the Strait of Hormuz continue to rise. Disruptions in this vital shipping route have pushed global oil prices higher, adding to growing concern in international markets.

Iran, on the other hand, has rejected claims of any ceasefire proposal from the US, calling such reports completely baseless, according to its foreign ministry.

US Senator Chuck Schumer strongly criticized Trump’s remarks, describing the war as a major policy mistake in American history.

The US military has stated that multiple targets have been hit during the ongoing operation. However, the situation remains unstable, with tensions continuing across several parts of the Middle East.

Recent surveys show that a majority of Americans support ending the war quickly, and many oppose continued military action.
