Claim 1: “The United States is ramping up its military presence in the Middle East even more, despite the US having reportedly sent a 15-point peace plan to Tehran.”

CORROBORATED

Multiple independent sources confirm the US sent a 15-point peace plan to Iran (web_search: 'Iran rejects U.S. ceasefire plan', 'U.S. ceasefire plan') and the military buildup in the Middle East (wikipedia: '2026 United States military buildup in the Middle East'). Web results and Wikipedia entries independently corroborate both elements of the claim.
