The situation between Iran and the United States has escalated over a new diplomatic proposal related to the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has reportedly suggested reopening the Strait first, while delaying nuclear negotiations until later. However, U.S. President Donald Trump, after a national security meeting, expressed dissatisfaction with the proposal, stating that it does not address Iran’s nuclear program, which remains a core American concern. The White House confirmed that discussions were held at a high level, but emphasized that U.S. red lines on Iran’s nuclear ambitions remain unchanged. Washington has also insisted that any future engagement should align strictly with American interests and reiterated its opposition to Iran developing nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, Iran has demanded the lifting of blockades, compensation for war damages, and full control over the Strait before talks on uranium enrichment. Tensions remain centered on Hormuz, while the United Nations has urged free maritime movement and called for reopening the route without restrictions to stabilize global trade and the economy.
