Here's the latest
• Talks at an impasse: US President Donald Trump called Iran’s response to a US proposal “totally unacceptable,” as the two sides struggle to reach a long-term peace deal during their tenuous ceasefire. Trump also accused Tehran of “playing games” on Sunday.
• In Israel: Benjamin Netanyahu said there is still “work to be done” in the joint US-Israeli offensive against Iran, emphasizing that Tehran has not given up its enriched uranium or dismantled its nuclear sites. The Israeli prime minister spoke to Trump by phone on Sunday.
• Strait of Hormuz: Iran’s military warned that countries enforcing sanctions against Tehran will “face problems” when their vessels use the strait. Iran and the US have recently traded attacks in the region’s key waterways.

Brent crude prices on Sunday rose 3.17% to $104.50 a barrel and US crude climbed 3.21%, to about $98.48 a barrel.
Peace talks between the US and Iran appear to have stalled again, renewing concerns about when oil would be able to pass through a key Middle Eastern waterway.
The US laid out a “very clear red line” in its latest proposal, US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz told “Fox News Sunday.” Tehran responded to the United States’ latest proposal, but President Donald Trump blasted Iran’s response as “totally unacceptable.”
The lack of a peace deal in recent weeks has strained the possibility of reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for about one-fifth of the world’s oil. A senior Iranian military figure warned countries enforcing sanctions on Iran that they will “face problems” when their vessels pass through the strait, according to state media.
The US is also maintaining its naval blockade on Iranian vessels and ports. The US military on Friday fired on Iranian-flagged oil tankers trying to circumvent its blockade.
Brent is nearly $20 more expensive than it was before the war started and US crude is roughly $10 more expensive. Those elevated oil prices are costing Americans more at the pump: average gas prices are $4.52 a gallon, according to AAA.

US President Donald Trump called the most recent peace proposal from Iran “totally unacceptable” as the two countries struggle to make a deal to end the monthslong war.
“I have just read the response from Iran’s so-called ‘Representatives.’ I don’t like it — TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!” he wrote in a post Sunday on Truth Social.
Iran sent its latest proposal through Pakistani mediators Sunday morning, according to Iranian state media. Trump has drawn a hard line on the Iranian nuclear program, which Tehran has resisted.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with President Donald Trump on Sunday evening, according to an Israeli official and an Israeli source familiar with the call, as Iran submitted its response to the latest US ceasefire proposal.
Video posted on social media showed Netanyahu excusing himself from a meeting with Druze and Circassian community leaders, saying that he needed to have a call with Trump.
Trump and Netanyahu have been in regular contact as the US has tried to advance ceasefire negotiations with Iran. In an interview with CBS’ 60 Minutes set to air on Sunday, Netanyahu said there is “work to be done” on Iran.
The Israeli prime minister also said that Trump agreed with him on the importance of removing Tehran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which has been one of the key issues the US has tried to address.
CNN has reached out to the White House for comment.

Iranian Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi was granted bail and transferred to a hospital in Tehran on Sunday, according to a statement from her family-run foundation.
The Narges Foundation said that Mohammadi was “granted a sentence suspension on heavy bail” after 10 days in the hospital in Zanjan.
“Her transfer via ambulance has been completed,” the statement said, “and she is now at Tehran Pars Hospital to be treated by her own medical team.”
“Narges Mohammadi’s life hangs in the balance. While she is currently hospitalized following a catastrophic health failure, a temporary transfer is not enough,” Mohammadi’s husband, Taghi Rahmani, added in the statement. “Narges must never be returned to the conditions that broke her health.”
Mohammadi, who has been a political prisoner for much of the last two decades, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023 for her pro-democracy activism. She has faced serious health issues behind bars, suffering multiple heart attacks while in detention and receiving emergency surgery in 2022.
Last week, the Narges Foundation reported that Mohammadi has “repeatedly experienced severe pain in her chest, back, and arms” and warned that any delay in care could result in serious consequences for her health.
