US President Donald Trump convened his national security team to assess Iran’s
proposal to end the conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The White House
said Trump will respond “very soon,” reiterating red lines including preventing
Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. A ceasefire agreed around April 7 risks
collapsing without new talks. Iran has signaled openness to an interim deal tied
to lifting a US blockade, but insists on retaining some control over strait
shipping, a condition Washington is unlikely to accept.
