Hyderabad, May 9 -- As the US-Israeli war on Iran entered its 71st day on Saturday, May 9, the United States said it expected a response from Tehran to a proposed ceasefire framework amid renewed tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, escalating violence in Lebanon and continued diplomatic efforts to prevent a wider regional conflict.

US President Donald Trump said he expected Iran's reply "tonight", expressing hope that Washington's latest proposal could open the door to serious negotiations aimed at ending the 10-week war, which has killed thousands across West Asia and disrupted global energy markets.
