Mike Huckabee, the U.S. ambassador to Israel, reported loud booms overhead and took shelter during missile alerts in Israel. Iran declared an end to its military operations against Israel after an exchange of attacks, according to NBC News. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said 'the fire on this front has been contained' and warned that if Iran attacks again, 'we will respond with force.'

Trump announced 'major combat operations' against Iran on February 28, targeting military, government, and infrastructure sites with joint U.S.-Israeli strikes, according to ABC News. He later announced an open-ended extension of the ceasefire and the continuation of the U.S. blockade until Iran's proposal is submitted and discussions are concluded 'one way or the other.'

Two officials familiar with the matter told ABC News that Iran’s proposal consists of a loosening of Tehran’s grip on the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the lifting of the U.S. blockade, with nuclear negotiations to be pushed to an unspecified future date. Secretary Marco Rubio stated a U.S. condition that Iran cannot impose tolls on the Strait of Hormuz.

According to Iran International, Trump said Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are leading talks with Iran and are 'dealing with the right people' in Iran. Trump also said Iran has made a proposal related to oil, gas, and the Strait of Hormuz, and added that Iran would like to make a deal, stating, 'If you were there, look, their navy’s gone, their air force is gone, their communications are done — that’s the biggest problem.'

CNBC.com reported that Iran fired missiles at unidentified targets in southern Iran, according to the state media outlet Fars. It also reported that Iran has not publicly acknowledged the proposed 60-day memorandum of understanding.

Mike Huckabee referred to Tehran as the 'Mothership of Satan' and characterized the crisis as escalating rapidly.
