President Donald Trump acknowledged receiving Iran's proposal for a deal but remains skeptical about its details. He warned that the military option remains on the table if Iran breaches any agreement. Meanwhile, Iran has submitted 14 conditions aiming to reopen shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for lifting maritime blockades.
U.S. President Donald Trump revealed he has been briefed on the concept of a new agreement with Iran but is awaiting a formal written draft for review. He issued a stern warning that the United States is prepared to resume military attacks if the Iranian government "misbehaves."
Before departing for Miami, Trump responded to reporters' questions about Iran's proposal, saying, "They have reported the concept of this deal to me, and they are about to send me a clear draft now." However, he later posted on social media that he doubts the proposal will be accepted and believes Iran has not sufficiently compensated for its past actions.
When asked about the possibility of resuming military strikes against Iran, Trump said, "I don’t like to say that to the press, but if they misbehave or do something wrong, we'll see. It’s a possibility that could happen."
A senior Iranian official disclosed that the Tehran government submitted 14 proposals, including reopening shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz and ending U.S. maritime blockades. They suggested separating nuclear program negotiations for later discussions to create a more favorable atmosphere for initial agreements.
Iran’s proposals include key conditions such as withdrawing U.S. troops from areas surrounding Iran, lifting all blockades and sanctions, returning Iran’s frozen assets along with compensation, ending conflicts on all fronts including Lebanon, and establishing new mechanisms to control the Strait of Hormuz.
Currently, the United States and Israel have paused bombing campaigns against Iranian territory for four weeks, but no permanent deal has been reached. The protracted conflict has caused the largest energy disruption in global history, as Iran has blocked the Strait of Hormuz—a route responsible for transporting 20% of the world's oil and gas—for over two months, driving U.S. oil prices higher.
This situation has placed enormous pressure on President Trump, especially ahead of the November midterm elections, where Republicans are concerned that public dissatisfaction over living costs may reduce their support.
However, the United States firmly insists that it will not end the war that has already claimed thousands of lives without a permanent agreement ensuring Iran cannot acquire nuclear weapons. This has been Trump's main stated goal since launching attacks in February, while Iran continues to deny nuclear ambitions for weapons, insisting its program is solely for peaceful purposes.
