Iran examining new U.S. proposal, Foreign Ministry spokesman says

Iran says it is reviewing the latest U.S. proposal as Pakistan-mediated talks continue, while oil prices fell more than 5% on hopes of a deal.

  • Iran confirmed on Thursday it is reviewing the latest United States proposal received from mediator Pakistan, aiming to end the war despite both sides trading threats over resuming attacks.
  • The vital Strait of Hormuz remains closed, blocking a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas, while the United States maintains a blockade on Iranian ports.
  • Enforcing the blockade, CENTCOM redirected 91 commercial ships to ensure compliance, while the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy allowed 26 vessels to transit the strait over 24 hours.
  • President Donald Trump told reporters Washington is in the "final stages" of negotiations, warning, "We'll either have a deal, or we're going to do some things that are a little bit nasty."
  • Amid the closure, the Food and Agriculture Organization warned Wednesday of a "severe global food price crisis" and a "systemic agrifood shock" as fertilizer supplies drop.
