Pakistan says it is ready to host talks on ending the US-Israel war on Iran.
White House's Karoline Leavitt says passing the conflict's costs off to regional states is 'an idea' Donald Trump has.
US President Donald Trump on Monday threatened to destroy Iran’s key oil export hub at Kharg Island and other critical infrastructure unless Tehran swiftly agrees to a deal to end the US-Israeli war, sharply escalating tensions in an already volatile region. The warning has rattled global energy markets and raised fears of a broader conflict, as Iran signals potential retaliation and moves to tighten control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

The US has allowed a sanctioned Russian tanker to deliver fuel to the island for humanitarian reasons, saying such decisions would be handled on a case-by-case basis.
