U.S. President Donald Trump sent a peace plan to Iran as he voiced optimism on Tuesday (March 24, 2026) at ending nearly a month of a war, with Tehran announcing that it will let “non-hostile” oil vessels go through the crucial Strait of Hormuz. U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday spoke with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and discussed the unfolding U.S.-Israel war on Iran. Tel Aviv mayor Ron Huldai told reporters a “direct strike” had targeted a building in the upscale neighbourhood. Earlier in the day, Israel launched a series of strikes that hit Beirut’s southern suburbs, the first attack on the Hezbollah stronghold in days. Israel’s military said it captured two members of the Iran-backed group in southern Lebanon.
