Trump rejected Iran's new proposal, asserting that the US is at war with Iran to prevent it from acquiring nuclear weapons. Despite a three-week ceasefire, Trump declared the war has ended, while maintaining the option of military action. He expressed a preference for making a deal but signaled continued pressure on Iran.
Most of Iran’s enriched uranium is likely located at the Isfahan nuclear complex, and the IAEA is gathering information on the state of Iranian nuclear sites following US and Israeli airstrikes. Russia is in discussions with the IAEA to assist with the extraction of enriched uranium, and US President Donald Trump urged Putin to be more involved in ending the war in Ukraine. The IAEA is engaged in discussions with both Iran and the US, but is not participating in ceasefire negotiations.
US President Donald Trump stated that the United States and Iran are continuing negotiations by phone. He views the Iranian nuclear program as the top priority in negotiations, with a potential framework involving a ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to be discussed later. Trump reiterated the US's commitment to preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
President Trump rejected Iran’s latest peace proposal and warned of military action if negotiations fail, highlighting ongoing tensions in efforts to preserve a Middle East ceasefire. Iran recently sent a new peace proposal through a Pakistani mediator, but expressed dissatisfaction with the agreement terms. Despite a three-week ceasefire, the impasse persists due to differing stances between the two sides.
Israel quietly deployed its Iron Beam laser-based air defense system to the UAE during the recent conflict with Iran, marking the first major defense cooperation between the two countries. The hostilities between the US and Iran have ended following a three-week ceasefire, with President Trump stating the war has ‘terminated.’ Despite US forces being deployed in the region, the White House reported the war has ended.
The Trump administration claims that the war in Iran has already ended due to the ceasefire that began in early April, allowing the White House to avoid seeking congressional approval.

Legal experts disagree, arguing that congressional approval is still required.
President Trump rejected Iran’s latest proposal and is reviewing new military options to potentially relaunch the war. With 60 days since the war began, the White House informed Congress it didn't need approval due to the ceasefire. Trump is considering both military action and negotiation, citing internal divisions within Iran.
Iran’s blockade in the Gulf of Oman has resulted in approximately $5 billion in lost oil revenue. The United States is increasing pressure on Tehran, escalating tensions in the US-Iran relationship. Market pricing indicates a decreased probability of a near-term US-Iran ceasefire agreement.
The United States has issued a warning regarding shipping fees through the Strait of Hormuz, highlighting the potential for sanctions. The U.S. maintains a naval blockade of the strait amid stalled ceasefire talks, and tensions remain high. Iran has proposed fees for vessel passage, which the U.S. has dismissed.
President Trump expressed dissatisfaction with Iran’s ceasefire proposal, stating that Tehran was demanding things he couldn’t agree to. He linked the end of the war to a decrease in gasoline prices and emphasized continued negotiations with Iran while acknowledging ongoing attacks.
