Trump says US to help ships stranded in Strait of Hormuz as tanker hit by projectiles

Welcome to our coverage of ceasefire Day 27!

As we enter Day 27 of the truce, it marks nearly a month of fragile peace amid rising international tensions. The situation remains highly delicate, with diplomatic manoeuvring intensifying behind the scenes.

On Day 26 of ceasefire (May 3), former President Donald Trump said that the US may resume military action if Iran "misbehaves".

Trump's comments came after Iran put forward a new peace proposal — one that, if accepted, would open up the crucial Strait of Hormuz to shipping and end the US blockade on Iran.

While the proposal was rejected by the US, Iranian officials remain hopeful. Tehran's 14-point proposal also includes the withdrawal of US forces from areas near Iran, the lifting of sanctions, and a halt to ongoing conflicts, including in Lebanon.

Iranian state media reported that Washington had conveyed its reply to the proposal via Pakistan, with Tehran now reviewing the response.
