Iran rejected the proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a temporary ceasefire, stating that talks are incompatible with threats.

US President Trump declared his deadline for Iran to reach a deal final, stating Iran's proposal was significant but insufficient.

Despite Pakistani mediation efforts for a ceasefire and peace talks, the positions of both sides remain sharply divided.
A two-step ceasefire and peace proposal, facilitated by Pakistan, has been presented to the US and Iran.
