What’s in Iran’s latest proposal – and how has the US responded?
Iran has proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the US ending its naval blockade and halting the war, while postponing talks on its nuclear programme. The Trump administration has signaled skepticism and is unlikely to accept the proposal in its current form. The move aims to de-escalate tensions and address global economic disruptions caused by the closure of the strategic waterway.
- ▪Iran offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if the US lifts its naval blockade and ends the war.
- ▪The proposal postpones discussions on Iran's nuclear programme until after the conflict ends.
- ▪The US has expressed skepticism about the plan, indicating it is unlikely to be accepted as is.
