Average gas price in the US is still over a dollar higher than a year ago 🚨
The average price of a gallon of gasoline in the United States is down slightly from the previous day and remains well over a dollar higher than this time last year.
It’s one of the most prominent ways Americans have felt the economic impact of the war with Iran. Consumer sentiment continued to decline this month, reaching a fresh record low in the absence of a deal to end the conflict.

Trump's talking points have stayed the same while the Iran war has changed 🚨
As the US awaits an Iranian response to its latest proposal for ending the conflict that began at the end of February, President Donald Trump’s statements continue to send several distinct messages.
The ideas he repeats include the key points that: the US is in charge; Iran’s military is devastated; and things are going to be over pretty soon. Trump also insists that Iran cannot be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon, and that freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz must be restored.
All this makes it very difficult to know how seriously to take his assurances about the proximity of a deal.
“They want to make a deal. We’ve had very good talks over the last 24 hours, and it’s very possible that we’ll make a deal,” Trump said Wednesday at the White House.
Trump has said similar for more than a month, asserting when he declared a two-week ceasefire on April 8 that “almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two-week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated.”
That ceasefire has been extended, but there is no sign of further talks on a broad deal.

Iran warns US of ‘heavy assault’ if ships face more attacks during ceasefire 🚨
• Shaky ceasefire: Iran warned it would launch a “heavy assault” on US assets in the Middle East if its ships face further attacks during the ceasefire. The two sides exchanged fire around the Strait of Hormuz in recent days.
• Ships attacked: Satellite imagery of one of two Iranian-flagged ships hit by a US jet fighter showed smoke still billowing from the vessel a day after the attack.
• War negotiations: US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Qatar’s prime minister in Miami. Officials previously said that they were awaiting a response from Tehran on a proposal to end the conflict.
• Energy disruption: Iranian officials are encouraging the population to consume less electricity and gas, as a US blockade has interrupted the flow of supplies.

Lebanon’s first responders put their own lives at risk 🚨
We’ve been speaking to Ali Safiuddin, head of Lebanon’s Civil Defense in Tyre, about the ongoing Israeli attacks.
He said first responders have become targets themselves.
“We’re under threat every second. Every day we ask ourselves if we’re going to survive or are we going to die? We know we’ve already given up our lives working here. We’ve lost so many people, and it feels like we’re already gone as well,” Safiuddin said.
The civil defence worker knows loss personally. His daughter was killed in an Israeli strike during the 2006 war.
According to the UN, at least 103 Lebanese medical workers have been killed and more than 230 wounded in over 130 Israeli strikes since March 2. Rights groups say Israel is targeting medical personnel and ambulances in southern Lebanon, rejecting Israeli claims that Hezbollah is using ambulances to transport weapons and fighters.
“As the civil defense in Lebanon we have international protections. We have symbols on our vehicles recognized by the United Nations to protect us. Our ambulances carry stretchers and bandages for the injured people we’re trying to help, nothing else,” Safiuddin said.

Iran to respond to US peace proposal at ‘appropriate time for Iranians’ 🚨
What we do have is [Foreign Ministry spokesman] Esmaeil Baghaei confirming that they are, right now, reviewing the response from United States officials, and that they are working on their response.
He also emphasised… the focus on ending the war, the focus on that 14-point plan conveyed to the United States over the past days. He said that we are, right now, concerned about how to end this war, how to mediate between the gaps between the United States and the Iranians.
But at the same time, he didn’t mention any exact time for delivering that message.
The indication is clear that, right now, the response is being reviewed by the stakeholders here in the capital – whether it’s the IRGC, whether it’s top diplomats, whether parliament members – and also by the negotiating team. At the same time, at the end, by the supreme leader.
So that could happen at any time. But as Esmaeil Baghaei said, at the appropriate time for the Iranians.

Putin offers to move, store Iran’s enriched uranium 🚨
Russian President Vladimir Putin says Moscow is ready to transport and store Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium.
Speaking at a news conference in Moscow, Putin said Russia had transported enriched uranium out of Iran in 2015 and was prepared “to repeat this experience”.
He said all parties to the conflict had agreed to have the uranium moved out of Iran. “But then the United States hardened its position and demanded that the uranium be transported exclusively to US territory. Iran then hardened its position.”
Moscow will remain in contact with both Washington and Tehran, Putin said, adding that he hopes the conflict will end “as quickly as possible”.
There was no immediate comment from Iran.

Lebanon’s PM holds talks with Syrian president 🚨
It’s been a bit over a year since Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam last met with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, and a lot has changed since then.
This visit is about re-establishing relations and discussing cooperation on a few key issues, particularly in the context of the wider regional war, Israel’s campaign in Lebanon, and it’s continued occupation and operations in southern Syria.
On the table, number one, border and security issues. There has long been a problem with the smuggling of drugs and arms between Lebanon and Syria, notably because Syria used to be part of the land route between Iran and its ally Hezbollah.
That decreased massively after the fall of the Assad regime, but in the last couple of months, Syrian authorities have announced a number of operations and arrests, and the dismantling of tunnels, which they said were used for the attempted smuggling of weapons into Lebanon.
Significantly, in the last week, they’ve also announced the arrest of several members of what they described as Hezbollah cells who were attempting attacks on the Syrian government; and last month, there were also arrests of Hezbollah cells that were said to be attempting to fire rockets into northern Israel.
The governments of Syria and Lebanon find themselves aligned at this moment on trying to rein in Hezbollah.
Also on the table is cooperation on the issues of trade, the economy, and the return of Syrian prisoners – more than 2,000 of whom remain detained inside Lebanon, with many accused of ‘terrorism’ offences – and the issue of Syrian refugees in Lebanon.
Despite a spike in returns due to the war there, there are still more than 1 million Syrians displaced in Lebanon.

Why are UK, France sending warships to Middle East? 🚨
The UK says it is deploying the HMS Dragon warship to the Middle East in preparation for a potential multinational mission to protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
The move follows France’s decision to deploy the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier group to the Red Sea.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said dozens of nations are ready to “contribute assets” to the UK-France-led effort to secure shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. But he said the initiative would only begin once hostilities end between the US, Israel and Iran.
The effort comes as Trump criticises Washington’s allies for failing to join the war on Iran.
Starmer has repeatedly said the UK will not “join offensive action” against Iran, and French President Emmanuel Macron has said that reopening the Hormuz Strait “can only be done in consultation with Iran”.

‘They were targeting children and civilians’ 😭
Israeli forces are continuing to bombard residential areas in southern Lebanon, leaving a trail of devastation that has shattered the lives of thousands of families.
Hasan Omar, a resident of Saksakiyeh in Sidon, where recent attacks killed at least seven people and wounded 17 others, said the victims were exclusively families seeking refuge. “Children – they were targeting children and civilians. They ran away from Nabatieh, and they targeted them here; all children and women. The people fled from Nabatieh to look for a safe house,” he told Reuters.
Omar also questioned the intent behind the military’s actions: “Who is the Israeli military sending this message to? I don’t understand; nobody understands.”
Mohammed Dahaineh, a rescue worker in Tyre, described the frantic moments after a forced evacuation order from the Israeli military.
“First, the Israeli military issued a threat to the town, so we immediately came and told the people to evacuate because we didn’t know which house the air strike would hit,” Dahaineh told Reuters.
He noted that while the town was largely cleared, some people had remained behind before the bombardment began. “The town was completely evacuated, except for some families who stayed in their homes,” he explained.
“Then the air strike happened. We treated five wounded and five martyrs.”

The war on Iran will likely end in American retreat 🚨
e United States cannot continue the war without producing disastrous consequences.
A renewed escalation would likely lead to the destruction of the region’s oil, gas, and desalination infrastructure, causing a prolonged global catastrophe.
Iran can credibly impose costs that the United States cannot bear and that the world should not suffer.
The US – Israel war plan was a decapitation strike, sold to President Donald Trump by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and David Barnea, the director of the Mossad.
The premise was that an aggressive joint US–Israeli bombing campaign would so degrade the Iranian regime’s command structure, nuclear programme, and IRGC senior leadership that the regime would fracture.
The United States and Israel would then impose a pliable government in Tehran.

What is in the latest US ceasefire proposal? 🚨
According to Reuters, the latest peace efforts between Tehran and Washington aim to reach a memorandum of understanding to halt the war and restore traffic through the Strait of Hormuz while both sides negotiate a broader deal.
The proposed framework would unfold in three stages: formally ending the war, resolving the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, and launching a 30-day window for wider negotiations.
US media has also reported that under a 14-point plan proposed by Washington, Iran would be required to pledge not to develop nuclear weapons and to halt all uranium enrichment for at least 12 years. Iran would also need to surrender an estimated 440kg (970lb) of uranium enriched to 60 percent.
In return, the US would gradually lift sanctions, release billions of dollars in frozen Iranian assets, and withdraw its naval blockade of Iranian ports. Both sides would additionally reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days of signing.

Closure of Strait of Hormuz threatens to ‘disrupt planting seasons’ in Africa 🚨
We’ve been speaking to Julian May, a food security specialist at the University of the Western Cape, on how the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is affecting farmers in Africa.
He said the closure is the rising fuel and fertiliser prices is “transmitting to food prices” on the continent and “will also cascade into affecting production levels in Africa”.
The longer the conflict runs, the higher the risk of “disrupting planting seasons” in Africa, May said, noting that many countries experiencing rain seasons at the moment and are “preparing to start planting crops which are dependent upon fertiliser”.
May added that the content’s reliance on trucks to move food as well as its oil-dependent irrigation and refrigeration could amplify the shock.
“The continent is heavily reliant upon the use of trucks to be able to move food from one part to the other, since there aren’t well developed train systems,” he said. “The continent is also very heavily dependent upon oil for a whole range of production issues, including irrigation as well as the production of mechanisation as well as refrigeration.”
May said the populations that will be most vulnerable to these shocks are “going to be those highly urbanized areas as well as those parts of the African food system, which are dependent upon staples such as maize”.
He added, “But we have to also recognise that Africa is a highly diverse continent, and some areas are still using foods such as plantain or teff as staples, which are not necessarily going to be as affected by the closure.”

The United States cannot afford this much longer’ 🚨
The United States needs to fundamentally rebalance its relationship with the Gulf region because of financial reality, according to Mark Kimmitt, former US assistant secretary of state for political-military affairs.
“Candidly, the United States cannot afford this much longer,” Kimmitt told Al Jazeera. He pointed to what economist Niall Ferguson has called the Ferguson Rule, the point at which a country’s defence budget is exceeded by its national debt payments. “That is the end of the empire. We hit that two years ago. And when the Department of Defense is now proposing a $1.5 trillion defence budget, that will only widen that gap further.”
“I am not talking about America pulling back from the world. But I think we need to rebalance our relationship in this region for many reasons,” he added.
On the prospects for normalised relations between Iran and its Gulf neighbours, Kimmitt said, “Iran is a hegemonic predator. I think it will take a significant change in the regime inside Iran before there is a normalised relationship with its Gulf neighbours. The relationship right now is not one based on mutual respect, it is based on pressure and threats.”

Iran sees Strait of Hormuz as ‘greater leverage than nuclear weapon’ 🚨
Iran has discovered that controlling the Strait of Hormuz is more valuable to its strategic position than pursuing a nuclear weapon, according to Dania Thafer, executive director of the Gulf International Forum.
“I think Iran sees its leverage through the Strait of Hormuz as key leverage,” Thafer said. “Actually, I think they discovered that the Strait of Hormuz is more of a leverage than actually having a nuclear weapon.”
She explained that Iran’s strategy is to use the strait to walk the United States back to the pre-war period, effectively negating the main reason President Trump decided to go to war with Iran. “What they want to do is to walk the US back to the pre-war period – basically making the Strait of Hormuz the main leverage to end the war completely and move on to nuclear talks”.
She added that Iran may also use the strait as a bargaining chip with the Gulf.

Iran has discovered that controlling the Strait of Hormuz is more valuable to its strategic position than pursuing a nuclear weapon, according to Dania Thafer, executive director of the Gulf International Forum.
“I think Iran sees its leverage through the Strait of Hormuz as key leverage,” Thafer said. “Actually, I think they discovered that the Strait of Hormuz is more of a leverage than actually having a nuclear weapon.”
She explained that Iran’s strategy is to use the strait to walk the United States back to the pre-war period, effectively negating the main reason President Trump decided to go to war with Iran. “What they want to do is to walk the US back to the pre-war period – basically making the Strait of Hormuz the main leverage to end the war completely and move on to nuclear talks”.
She added that Iran may also use the strait as a bargaining chip with the Gulf.
