White House officials are weighing an interim deal that could reopen the strait and delay nuclear talks as oil prices stay above $108 a barrel.

- Shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has plummeted from 140 vessels daily to seven, fueling economic pressure that prompted Iran's latest proposal.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio rejected the plan in a Fox News interview, asserting "the Iranians decide who gets to use an international waterway, and how much you have to pay them." White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reiterated the administration's red lines remain clear.

- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi visited Russia to strengthen partnerships, insisting that Iran's participation in broader talks depends on a ceasefire in Lebanon, where Israeli strikes killed 14 people on Sunday.
