Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency said Tehran rejected the latest ceasefire proposal and wants a permanent end to the war. The agency said it has conveyed its response to the U.S. through Pakistan, a key mediator. Also Monday, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Israel attacked the South Pars petrochemical plant at Asaluyeh in Iran. Meanwhile, Israel and the United States carried out a wave of attacks on Iran on Monday, killing more than 25 people. Iran responded with missile fire on Israel and its Gulf Arab neighbors. And U.S. President Donald Trump’s deadline for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz loomed. Trump gave Tehran a deadline that expires Monday night Washington time.

The Artemis II astronauts are racing toward a new distance record on their moon flyby. Apollo 13's crew currently holds the record for the humans traveling the farthest from Earth. The three Americans and one Canadian who were launched last week will break that record set in 1970, right before they begin their lunar fly-around on Monday. The hourslong lunar observations promise magnificent views of the moon's far side never seen before by eye. Once they emerge from behind the moon, the astronauts will head straight home without stopping, with a Pacific splashdown on Friday.

Michigan has been scoring over and swatting down opponents at a record rate during March Madness. For the Wolverines to go down as one of college basketball’s best-ever, they’ll have to do it one more time by taking down a UConn program seeking its third national title in four seasons. The teams meet Monday night in the NCAA championship game, bringing the curtain down on a March Madness full of surprises and fun — and highlighted by two finalists that have been shooting for history in their own distinct ways.

The U.S. stock market is making only hesitant moves, while oil prices are flip-flopping. The S&P 500 rose 0.1% Monday as mediators try to forge a ceasefire agreement ahead of a deadline President Donald Trump has set to bomb Iranian power plants. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 46 points, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 0.3%. Oil prices seesawed amid continued uncertainty about what will happen in the war with Iran and how long it will slow the global flow of oil and natural gas. Trump warned again he will bomb Iran’s power plants if it doesn’t open the Strait of Hormuz.

U.S. President Donald Trump repeated his threat to hit Iran’s critical infrastructure hard if the country’s government doesn’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz by his Monday deadline. He said in a profanity-laced social media post Sunday that Tuesday will be “Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran.” He also offered details of the rescue of a “seriously wounded” colonel who had been missing since Friday when Iran shot down a U.S. F-15E Strike Eagle. Trump wrote that the Iranian military was “looking hard, in big numbers, and getting close” to the aviator. Trump said the other F-15 pilot had been rescued earlier in “broad daylight” after seven hours over Iran.
