Trump wary of Iran’s proposal on the Strait of Hormuz

Donald Trump appears reluctant to accept Iran’s latest proposal to ease tensions, which includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, but leaves critical issues about Tehran’s nuclear program unresolved, according to people familiar with the discussions. Trump expressed his reservations during a meeting with senior national security officials on Monday.


As reported, the plan, which was conveyed to the United States in recent days, is not expected to be accepted, as it includes reopening the vital maritime artery without addressing issues such as uranium enrichment and stockpiles at weapons-grade levels.


U.S. officials believe such a development would deprive Washington of a key negotiating advantage.


At the same time, maintaining the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz could prolong high energy prices, which have already led to increased fuel costs in the United States.


The dilemma for the American side remains, as it must balance geopolitical pressure with economic consequences.


Following Monday’s meeting, it remains unclear what the next steps of the U.S. administration will be.


Officials have expressed concern about internal disagreements within the Iranian regime and uncertainty over who has the final say on a potential agreement.


At the same time, Trump has publicly appeared skeptical about the possibility of resuming the U.S. military campaign, which remains suspended after the extension of last week’s ceasefire.


The White House declined to comment on the details of the negotiations.


In a statement to CNN, Deputy Press Secretary Olivia Wells said: “These are sensitive diplomatic discussions, and the United States does not negotiate through the press.


As the President has stated, the United States holds the cards and will move forward only with an agreement that serves the American people, never allowing Iran to obtain nuclear weapons.”
