External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar mocked Pakistan's attempt at mediation in the Middle East war, with a member at the all-party meeting on Wednesday quoting him as saying, "India won't act as a middleman and dalal (broker) nation like Pakistan." The remarks by the minister come after Pakistan delivered US' proposal to end war to Iran.

Iran has rejected US President Donald Trump's 15-point peace proposal, according to Iranian state media. Iran has officially outlined five conditions for ending the war, including a halt to "aggression and assassinations", guarantees against future conflict, and payment of war damages. It also sought recognition of its control over Strait of Hormuz and complete end to fighting across all fronts.

India has bought its first cargo of Iranian liquefied petroleum gas in years after the US temporarily removed sanctions on Iran's oil and refined fuels, Reuters reported. India had stopped energy purchases from Iran in 2019 under pressure from Western sanctions. Sanctioned tanker Aurora carrying Iranian LPG is expected to shortly reach west coast port of Mangaluru, the report added.

The Israeli military said that it struck and significantly damaged a research and development facility for submarines and underwater systems in Iran's Isfahan on Tuesday. It added that Iran produces various models of unmanned vessels at the site. The military added that it has completed two waves of large-scale airstrikes targeting government sites in Tehran on Wednesday.

Supply of LPG will be discontinued if consumers fail to switch to PNG where such connectivity is available, said an order. It stated that LPG supply "shall cease after three months" from date of communication if a household doesn't opt for PNG despite availability. The order allows continuation where it's "technically infeasible" to provide piped connection, subject to no-objection certificate.
