Iran has dismissed an American plan to pause the war,

issuing its own counter-proposal.

The AP's John Gambrell is in Dubai.

Iran is insisting that it's going to continue its attacks

for right now, and we've seen drones and missiles

target Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain.

And it remains unclear if this is just another pressure

attacked it by the Trump administration.

As already, it is called up the 82nd Airborne.

That division would be key in launching attacks

on airfields, or potentially islands in the Persian Gulf.

There's been discussions about the United States

potentially seizing Carg Island, which

is Iran's main oil terminal.

U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres

says the war needs to end now.

The world is staring down the barrel of a weather war,

rising tide of human suffering,

and a deeper global economic shock.

This has gone too far.

The U.S. submitted a 15-point proposal.
