US-Iran war highlights: Trump says shoulder-mounted missile shot down US F-15E; sirens blare in Bahrain

US Iran war highlights: The war in the Middle East seems far from over and now Iran has said that it will continue the war ‘until deemed fit’ as it rejected the US' peace plan amid US President Donald Trump's looming deadline to open the contentious Strait of Hormuz.

“We won’t merely accept a ceasefire,” Mojtaba Ferdousi Pour, head of Iran's diplomatic mission in Cairo, told The Associated Press. “We only accept an end of the war with guarantees that we won’t be attacked again.”

Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency said Tehran conveyed its response through Pakistan, a key mediator.

Israel also said that three of Iran's key airport were attacked in airstrikes, along with dozens of military industries, launch sites, and operatives from the missile array.

The energy facilities at Iran's South Pars gas field have been targeted in fresh US-Israel missile salvo against Tehran on Monday, Iran's state media reported. Israel targeted South Pars gas field last month which led to damage to key infrastructure and prompting counterstrikes from Iran on Gulf energy hubs, including Qatar's Ras Laffan LNG complex.

The gas field under the Gulf is the world's largest and is shared by Iran and Qatar. It is called South Pars on the Iranian side and North Field or North Dome on the Qatari side. Iran relies on the field to meet its domestic energy requirements, while Qatar uses it for global LNG exports.

Multiple explosions have been heard from US military headquarters in Jordan, Iran's semi-official news agency Tasnim News reported.

A senior Iranian official confirmed to Reuters that Tehran has received the ceasefire proposal but made it clear that Iran will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a “temporary ceasefire”. Notably, Iran and the United States have received a proposal to stop the fighting, which could take effect on Monday and lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a source familiar with the matter told news agency Reuters.

Trump extended deadline for Iran?

The US President on Sunday appeared to push his self-set deadline for Iran by 24 hours, asking it to reach a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face major infrastructure strikes.

In a brief post on Truth Social, Trump announced the revised deadline as Tuesday, 8 PM ET.

"Tuesday, 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time!" he said in the post.
