Peace efforts stall as US examines latest Iran proposal
The US is considering Iran's latest proposal to unblock the Strait of Hormuz, but diplomacy aimed at permanently ending the war has proven inconclusive. Iran has blockaded the waterway since the start of the US-Israeli offensive two months ago, sending shockwaves through the global economy.
Efforts to end the Middle East war have stalled, with the US examining Iran's latest proposal to unblock the Strait of Hormuz. Iran blockaded the waterway two months ago, following a US-Israeli offensive, disrupting global oil and gas shipments. The proposed plan involves Iran easing its blockade and the US lifting its retaliatory blockade on Iranian ports. US President Donald Trump met with top security advisors to discuss the proposal, but signaled reluctance to accept it without resolving the nuclear question. Iran's defense ministry spokesman said Washington must abandon its 'illegal and irrational demands.' The war has cut off oil, gas, and fertilizer flows, causing prices to soar, and has been unpopular among Americans with midterm elections due in November.
