The United States is engaged in what officials describe as “semi‑negotiations” with Tehran, as regional tensions rise following Israel’s outright rejection of Donald Trump’s proposed 15‑point Gaza peace plan. The plan, which called for phased Israeli withdrawal and Hamas disarmament guarantees, was dismissed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as “unacceptable,” leaving diplomatic efforts stalled.
