Iran floats Hormuz plan as Israel reports Hamas-finance killings

Iran's foreign minister said Tehran sent Washington a seven-day proposal through Qatar and was awaiting a response; media reports said it sought to halt hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Separately, Israel's military and Shin Bet said they killed 16 alleged members of a Hamas financial network. The proposal's reported terms remain attributed, while Shafaq News could not verify Israel's network details or monetary claim and Hamas had not immediately commented.

Partial daily report based on two selected Shafaq News articles; broader Middle East collection was degraded by numerous failed source requests and deferred articles.
