US President Donald Trump is set to discuss a new Iranian proposal with top national security officials. The proposal aims to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with Pakistani officials, presenting a list of 'red lines', before heading to Russia to meet President Vladimir Putin. The development comes after peace talks between the US and Iran stalled over the weekend. Trump defended his decision to cancel his envoys' trip to Pakistan, stating Iranian authorities 'can call' if they want to negotiate. An expert, Danny Citrinowicz, expressed doubts about the prospects of a breakthrough, citing the maximalist positions of both sides. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz criticized the US, saying it is 'being humiliated' by Iran and lacks a clear strategy to exit the war. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, remains above $100 a barrel, near a three-week high. Germany, part of a coalition led by Britain and France, has offered to send minesweeper boats to secure the Strait of Hormuz after a ceasefire.
