Iran says no to President Trump's ceasefire plan and publicized a counterproposal that includes war reparations and Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.

President Trump said on Tuesday Iran made a valuable offer to reach a deal with the United States, in talks that Iran has denied are taking place. "We've won this. This war has been won," Trump said.

Iran launched missiles at two southern Israeli cities that lie close to the country's main nuclear research center, while President Trump gave Iran 48 hours to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

International Atomic Energy Agency head Rafael Grossi said Iran's nuclear program is heavily damaged, "but the material will still be there and the enrichment capacities will be there."

With the Iran war entering a third week, Israel said it plans for at least three more weeks of war, while President Trump demanded other countries help the U.S. secure the vital Strait of Hormuz.

Israel announced a barrage of new strikes on western Iran on Sunday, while Iran's foreign minister said the country has not asked for a ceasefire as President Trump had claimed.

President Trump said on Friday the U.S. military had "totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran's crown jewel, Kharg Island." This, as all six crew members on a refueling plane that went down in western Iraq were confirmed dead.

Security officers at Temple Israel "engaged with the suspect" after a vehicle rammed into the building, according to Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard.

Iran's state media issued what it said was a statement by Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, vowing to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed and keep up attacks on U.S. bases in the region.

A military assessment suggests a U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile was responsible for at least 165 deaths at an Iranian girls' school, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.
