US President Donald Trump has given Iran a 48-hour ultimatum to reach a deal and end the war, which has been ongoing for six weeks.
The conflict has claimed thousands of lives, sparked an energy crisis, and threatened the world economy.
Iran's leadership remains defiant, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi leaving the door open for peace talks via Pakistani mediation.
However, Trump's mixed signals and threats to intensify attacks have raised the stakes, with Israel preparing to attack Iranian energy facilities.
The Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway, remains shut, carrying a fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas.
