The United States and Iran are discussing a potential ceasefire linked to
reopening the Strait of Hormuz, according to three U.S. officials, though
prospects remain uncertain. Donald Trump said he would consider a ceasefire only
if the strait reopens, while Tehran denied seeking talks. Masoud Pezeshkian
signaled willingness to end the war if U.S. attacks stop and guarantees are
provided. China and Pakistan proposed a similar framework, as diplomatic efforts
continue alongside ongoing conflict.
