5:08Now PlayingLindsay Newman, Columnist at GZero Media, discusses the latest developments in Iran as the White House weighs an Iranian proposal to end the war. Plus, she breaks down the implications of King Charles' multi-day state visit.
The White House said US officials were discussing Iran’s latest proposal but maintained “red lines” on any deal to end the eight-week war, including preventing Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Monday that President Donald Trump convened national security officials to review the proposal. “His red lines with respect to Iran have been made very, very clear,” she said, adding that Trump would address the matter “very soon.”
The comments followed reports that Tehran proposed an interim deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for Washington ending its blockade of Iranian ports, while postponing more complex negotiations over the country’s nuclear program.
Foreign leaders have expressed frustration. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the US was being “humiliated” by Iranian leaders and that he can’t figure out what exit the Americans are pursuing.
Separately, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, on a visit to Russia, told President Vladimir Putin that Tehran was committed to strengthening the partnership between their nations. Iran has also signaled nuclear negotiations could be deferred, Axios reported.
An interim accord would reflect views among analysts and some governments that reopening the strait should come first to ease pressure on energy markets, leaving nuclear issues for later talks.
Trump, however, has said Iran’s nuclear program must be resolved in any deal, and the blockade will remain until then to pressure Iran by choking off its oil exports.
