#WATCH | Delhi: At the joint press conference with EAM Dr S Jaishankar, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says, "I have to go back and justify to the American people every decision we make, and the President has to do the same on why it's good for our country, and our counterparts here in India have to do the exact same thing... I imagine this is true in every country in the world to some degree, but it is particularly true for democracies... In democracies, you have opposition parties. You have a free and open media. By the you have a lot of media. You guys have a lot of media, which means a lot of scrutiny and a lot of attention. But that begins to align our interests immediately, because we both recognise and have mutual respect and understanding that every decision we make, every announcement we make, everything we work together on, we ultimately have to go back and justify it to our voters, to our people, the people who put us in these positions to begin with..."
🚨BREAKING: Iran has submitted a new proposal through regional mediators to end the U.S. war, according to a senior Iranian official who spoke to Drop Site News, while Trump reportedly weighs launching new strikes as soon as this weekend.
The proposal splits negotiations into two tracks:
➤ Track 1: End the war first.
Iran wants a formal declaration ending the war, an end to the U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports, and the release of frozen Iranian assets before broader nuclear negotiations begin.
In exchange, Iran would provisionally reopen the Strait of Hormuz, waive transit fees temporarily, and allow maritime traffic to resume while a new “governance regime” for Hormuz is finalized.
Iran is also demanding a compensation mechanism funded by the U.S. and other countries involved in attacks on Iran to pay for damages inside Iran, along with an end to Israeli attacks in Lebanon.
➤ Track 2: Nuclear negotiations after the war ends.
Iran says it would:
• Suspend enrichment above 3.6% for 10 years
• Dilute uranium enriched above 20% under supervision inside Iran
• Commit not to develop a nuclear weapon
In return, Iran wants:
• Recognition of its right to enrich uranium
• Limited enrichment rights preserved under a future agreement
• Full sanctions relief
The Trump administration reportedly wants the war-ending deal and nuclear agreement finalized simultaneously, while continuing to insist Iran cannot keep enriched uranium. Iran says that demand remains a major obstacle.
Iranian officials also warned Tehran is preparing for escalation if attacks resume, including potential strikes on U.S. interests and bases beyond West Asia, as well as Gulf energy infrastructure and naval assets, alongside possible coordination with regional allies to disrupt shipping in the Bab al-Mandab Strait.

A proposed partnership between Pune Metro and Rapido for last-mile auto services at the Ramwadi Metro station triggered protests from local auto-rickshaw unions on Wednesday. Angry drivers gathered outside the station, claiming the move threatens their livelihood and questioning the legality of app-based transport services operating around Metro stations.
The protest reportedly disrupted the launch event, with officials leaving midway. Rickshaw drivers also alleged that traffic police are preventing them from waiting near the station, making passenger pickups difficult. Meanwhile, Metro authorities argue that feeder services are necessary to improve connectivity for commuters travelling towards Viman Nagar, Kharadi, and Wagholi, where passengers often struggle to find quick transport after exiting stations.
