Iran has proposed a new deal to the United States, offering to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war if America lifts its blockade on the waterway. The offer was passed to the Americans by Pakistan. It is uncertain if President Donald Trump will accept, as ending Iran's uranium enrichment is one of the US leader's war goals. Trump is expected to hold a situation room meeting on Iran with his top security team.
Key Points:
- The deal also postpones nuclear negotiations for a later stage.
- Iran's blockade of the strait crippled oil flow worldwide, hiking prices.
- The US blockade is designed to prevent Iran from selling oil.
- Diplomatic talks to ease tensions have been locked in a stalemate.
- Trump's team will discuss potential next steps in the negotiations.
