On the 22nd day of the Middle East conflict, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi said that Iran will "consider initiatives capable of ending this war," emphasizing that the conflict was "imposed" on the people.

"We are prepared to listen and to consider such proposals," Aragchi stated, but added that the United States "does not appear ready to stop its aggression." Iran demands "complete, comprehensive, and lasting peace," not just a ceasefire.

On the other hand, President Trump announced that his administration is "considering a reduction" of military operations in the region, claiming they are "very close to achieving the objectives." However, additional naval deployments in the area were simultaneously announced.

The International Energy Agency warned of an "unprecedented global energy crisis," recommending reduced fuel consumption through working from home and public transportation.

Drone attacks on American facilities in Iraq, airstrikes across Iranian cities, and losses among the Iranian military leadership marked the latest night of a conflict that continues to escalate.
