Morning update
Good morning Middle East Eye readers,
Diplomatic manoeuvring over Iran’s latest proposal is unfolding alongside continued military activity in Lebanon and disruption to global energy flows. Donald Trump said he is reviewing Tehran’s 14-point plan, warning attacks could resume if Iran “misbehaves”, even as reports point to ongoing indirect engagement.
At the same time, US-backed military support in the region is expanding and enforcement measures against Iranian oil trade continue, though some shipments appear to be getting through.
