PARIS — The latest developments in the Middle East war:

US cutting Germany troop numbers ‘way down.’ 

President Donald Trump said the United States would be withdrawing more troops from Germany than was previously announced by the Pentagon.

“We’re going to cut way down, and we’re cutting a lot further than 5,000,” he told reporters Saturday, without providing details.

Earlier, a Nato spokeswoman said the alliance was seeking more information from Washington on its decision, which came after German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Iran was “humiliating” the Trump administration in negotiations.

Trump casts doubt on new peace proposal 

US President Donald Trump said Saturday he would review a new Iranian peace deal but cast doubt over its prospects, as Iranian media reported Tehran had submitted a 14-point proposal to mediator Pakistan.

“I will soon be reviewing the plan that Iran has just sent to us, but I can’t imagine that it would be acceptable, in that they have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to Humanity and the World, over the last 47 years,” Trump said on his Truth Social platform.

Iran’s Tasnim and Fars news agencies said Iran had submitted a 14-point proposal. It reportedly includes ending the conflict on all fronts and enacting a new framework for the crucial Strait of Hormuz, according to Tasnim.

Three killed in Lebanon 

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported that a series of Israeli strikes across southern Lebanon killed three people in the town of Sammaiyeh in the Tyre district.

The Israeli military said it carried out strikes dismantling “approximately 70 military structures and approximately 50 Hezbollah infrastructure sites” across southern Lebanon on Saturday.

The attacks have become a regular occurrence despite the fragile April 17 ceasefire in the Israel-Hezbollah war.
