Iran Offers Strait of Hormuz Deal; Trump Dissatisfied

Iran said the deal would reopen shipping and delay nuclear talks until later, while requiring guarantees against Israeli and U.S. attacks.

  • President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian proposal on Saturday to reopen shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and end the United States blockade of Iranian ports, a senior Iranian official said.
  • The United States blockade of Iranian ports, imposed in April, prompted Tehran officials to pursue maritime access restoration through the Strait as a pathway to broader negotiations.
  • Under this proposal, the conflict would end with guarantees that Israel and the United States would refrain from future attacks, with nuclear negotiations deferred to the final stage.
  • Tehran seeks the lifting of sanctions in exchange for nuclear program curbs while demanding that Washington recognize its right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes, even if suspended.
  • Speaking on condition of anonymity, the senior official stated that deferring nuclear discussions represents a significant diplomatic shift intended to create "a more conducive atmosphere" for broader agreement.
