Iran said Thursday it is reviewing Washington’s latest proposal aimed at ending the ongoing conflict, after U.S. President Donald Trump warned that military action could resume if Tehran fails to reach an agreement. The renewed diplomatic push comes six weeks after a fragile ceasefire paused one of the region’s most serious conflicts in recent history.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei confirmed that Tehran had received the latest U.S. position and was evaluating it. Pakistan continues to play a key role as a mediator between the two sides, facilitating multiple rounds of communication. Pakistan’s interior minister also visited Tehran this week to support ongoing negotiations.
Trump signaled impatience with the slow pace of talks, saying the U.S. could act “very quickly” if Iran does not provide what he called the “right answers.” He reiterated that Washington remains determined to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and warned that failure to secure a deal could lead to “nasty” consequences.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards issued a warning against any renewed military strikes, threatening a wider regional conflict if attacks resume. Tehran’s latest proposal reportedly includes demands previously rejected by Washington, such as sanctions relief, compensation for war damage, control measures over the Strait of Hormuz, release of frozen assets, and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the region.
The Strait of Hormuz remains a major concern for global energy markets. Iran recently announced a “controlled maritime zone” in the strategic waterway, raising fears of disruptions to global oil and LNG shipments. Despite restrictions, several oil tankers from China and South Korea successfully crossed the strait this week.
The conflict has already caused thousands of deaths across Iran, Israel, and neighboring countries, while oil prices continue to surge, increasing concerns about inflation and global economic instability ahead of the U.S. midterm elections in 2026.
