Donald Trump said he is reviewing a new Iranian peace proposal while the U.S. prepares to escort neutral ships through the Strait of Hormuz. The developments keep diplomacy active even as tensions over sanctions, maritime access and Iran's nuclear file remain unresolved.
Donald Trump said he is reviewing a new Iranian peace proposal while also announcing a U.S. mission to guide neutral ships through the Strait of Hormuz, keeping diplomacy active even as tensions remain high.
AP reported that Trump said the United States will begin a mission called Project Freedom on Monday to escort ships through the waterway. In separate reporting, he said he is reviewing a new Iranian proposal delivered through Pakistani mediators, although he signaled he was unlikely to accept it.
The proposal is said to include sanctions relief and maritime demands, while the U.S. side remains focused on pressure over access to the Strait of Hormuz and limits on Iran’s nuclear program.
What Trump said
Trump’s comments suggest the talks are still alive, but with little sign of a breakthrough. He has described the proposal as something he is examining, while also indicating that Iran has not yet offered enough to meet U.S. demands.
The escort mission is a separate but related signal that Washington is still treating maritime access in the region as a major issue.
Wider context
The UN has previously urged continued U.S.-Iran talks and warned that there is no military solution to the conflict. The latest developments show both sides still testing the possibility of negotiation, even as the underlying dispute remains unsettled.
