Iran submitted a new proposal in response to recent amendments introduced by the US to a draft plan aimed at ending the ongoing West Asia conflict, seeking to advance negotiations. The proposal includes restoring maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and deferring concerns about Iran’s nuclear program to future discussions. President Donald Trump expressed reservations about the plan, indicating a likely rejection.
President Trump discussed U.S. strategic pressure policies regarding the conflict with Iran during the war powers resolution deadline. This could escalate tensions related to Iran's nuclear program and complicate discussions about JCPOA restoration. The delegation of war powers resolution raises concerns that the U.S. could more freely undertake military actions against Iran.
Trump expressed dissatisfaction with Iran's latest proposal to end the war, stating he couldn't agree to the Iranian demands. Both countries are continuing negotiations by phone, and the U.S. intends to maintain the blockade of Iranian ports until a deal addressing its concerns about Iran's nuclear program is reached. Military options are still being considered, with the CENTCOM commander briefing Trump on potential alternatives.
