President Trump and Iran sent mixed messages ahead of his Tuesday deadline. Early Tuesday, Israel said it had detected missiles launching from Iran and the Iranian Red Crescent Society said a residential area of Tehran had been hit in an airstrike.

US President Donald Trump called a 45-day ceasefire proposal a “significant step” but “not good enough.” Iran also rejected the proposal and called for a permanent end to the war, according to Iranian state-run media.
