Overnight strikes on cities across Iran killed more than 25 people, with reports of children among the dead, while Iranian attacks injured people in Israel and the UAE. <\/p>\n
The death toll from the war has now risen to more than 1,900 people in Iran and more than 1,200 people in Lebanon, while 19 people have been killed in Israel and 13 from the US.<\/p>\n
A “seriously wounded” US airman whose jet was shot down in Iran on Friday was rescued over the weekend after hiding in a mountainous crevice, with Trump describing the operation as “miraculous”. <\/p>\n

Ceasefire proposal received by US and Iran<\/p>\n
The US and Iran have received a draft proposal calling for a 45-day ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, according to two officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private negotiations.<\/p>\n
The proposal comes from Egyptian, Pakistani and Turkish mediators, who hope a 45-day window would provide enough time for extensive talks between the countries to reach a permanent ceasefire.<\/p>\n
Neither country has responded to the proposal, which was sent late Sunday night to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff, the officials said.<\/p>\n
It is unclear whether either side would agree to such terms. Iran has insisted it will keep fighting until it receives financial reparations and a promise it won\u2019t be attacked again. <\/p>\n
The US sent Iran a 15-point ceasefire plan in March, which included the country dismantling nuclear sites, stopping its uranium enrichment and limiting its missiles programmes. <\/p>\n

Iran rejects Trump’s new deadline<\/p>\n
Trump has threatened to attack Iran’s power plants and bridges if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened by Tuesday 8pm ET (1am BST).<\/p>\n
It is not the first time Trump has set a deadline for Iran to reopen the strait – an essential waterway through which a fifth of the world’s oil passes – with the president extending the time limit each time before it runs out. <\/p>\n
The previous deadline was set for April 6, after which Trump said the US would strike Iranian energy infrastructure. But on Sunday, the president extended it again.<\/p>\n
“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. <\/p>\n
“There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F***in\u2019 Strait, you crazy bastards, or you\u2019ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”<\/p>\n
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy responded to Trump by stating that the Strait of Hormuz will “never return to its former state, especially for America and Israel” in a post on X.<\/p>\n
“The IRGC Navy is completing operational preparations for the Iranian authorities’ official plan for the new Persian Gulf order,” it said. <\/p>\n
A spokesperson for Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters – Iran’s central military command – warned of a “much more devastating” retaliatory attacks if civilian infrastructure is targeted by the US and Israel on Monday. <\/p>\n
“If attacks on civilian targets are repeated, the next stages of our offensive and retaliatory operations will be much more devastating and widespread,” the spokesperson said in a statement through state television.<\/p>\n
The Strait of Hormuz has been almost entirely closed since the war began<\/p>\n
Iranian intelligence chief killed by Israel<\/p>\n
The head of intelligence for the IRGC was killed Monday in an attack targeting him, Iranian state media has said. <\/p>\n
Major General Majid Khademi took over for General Mohammad Kazemi, who was killed by Israel in the 12-day war in June. <\/p>\n
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz claimed responsibility for Khademi’s death on Monday, stating that the IDF would continue to “hunt down” Iran’s leaders “one by one”. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe will continue to crush the Iranian national infrastructure and lead to the erosion and collapse of the terrorist regime, and its capabilities to promote terror and fire at the state of Israel,\u201d Katz said.<\/p>\n
Airstrikes across Iran took place Sunday into Monday, with an attack on Eslamshar, southwest of Tehran, killing at least 13 people according to the semiofficial Fars news agency. <\/p>\n
Five people were also killed when a residential area in the city of Qom was hit, and six more died in strikes on other cities, the state-run IRAN daily newspaper said.<\/p>\n
Three people died in Tehran after an airstrike hit their home, Iranian state television reported, with explosions and low-flying jets heard over the capital for hours overnight. <\/p>\n
Tehran’s Sharif University of Technology was also hit, with reports of damage to the buildings as well as a natural gas distribution site next to the campus.<\/p>\n

Strikes on Lebanon, Israel and Gulf countries<\/p>\n
Israel\u2019s Magen David Adom and Fire and Rescue services said early Monday that there are several reported sites of Iranian missile hits in the northern city of Haifa. <\/p>\n
In one site, four people were slightly injured, including two children. <\/p>\n
It comes one day after another attack from Iran also hit a Haifa residential area on Sunday, killing two people and injuring others. <\/p>\n
On Monday the IDF issued a warning to residents in the southern suburbs Beirut, Lebanon, as operations and strikes continue in the area.<\/p>\n
In the United Arab Emirates\u2019 capital of Abu Dhabi, authorities said a Ghanaian man had suffered wounds from shrapnel after the interception of an Iranian missile over the city\u2019s Musaffah neighborhood.<\/p>\n
The site is near the Al Dhafra Air Base, which hosts US forces and has been repeatedly targeted by Iran in the war.<\/p>\n
