(Central News Agency, West Palm Beach, 2nd, comprehensive foreign report) U.S. President Trump stated today that he has been informed of the general content of Iran's proposal and is currently awaiting the exact wording. He also issued a warning that if Iran "misbehaves," attacks could still be resumed.
According to Reuters, a senior Iranian official stated today that Iran's proposal, which has so far been rejected by Trump, advocates for first opening the Strait of Hormuz and lifting U.S. sanctions on Iran, then leaving negotiations on Iran's nuclear program for a later stage.
Trump, en route to Miami, responded to Iran's proposal: "I've been given the general outlines of this proposal, and now they're going to give me the exact wording."
Trump later added on social media that he could not imagine these proposals being accepted, and indicated that Iran had not yet paid a high enough price for its actions.
When asked if attacks on Iran could resume, Trump said: "I don't want to bring that up, I can't say that to reporters. If they misbehave, if they do anything bad, we'll see then. But it's possible."
Trump has repeatedly stated that Iran must never possess nuclear weapons and said on the 1st that he was not satisfied with Iran's latest proposal; Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi, however, stated that Tehran is ready for diplomatic negotiations if the U.S. changes its attitude.
Reuters and other media have reported over the past week that Tehran proposed reopening the strait before resolving nuclear issues. The aforementioned official confirmed that this new timetable, mediated, has now been formally submitted to the U.S.
Trump also stated on the 1st that "from a humanitarian standpoint," he does not prefer military action. He informed congressional leaders that the current U.S.-Iran ceasefire has "terminated" hostilities, and he does not need congressional authorization to continue this conflict until the statutory deadline expires.
Despite Trump's repeated claims of no urgency, he still faces domestic pressure to find a way to break Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz. The blockade of this waterway has disrupted over 20% of global oil and natural gas supplies, causing U.S. domestic oil prices to soar. Republicans face the risk of voter backlash due to rising prices before the November midterm elections.
Iranian media reported that Tehran's 14-point plan includes: demanding the withdrawal of U.S. troops from areas surrounding Iran, lifting the blockade, releasing frozen Iranian assets, paying compensation, lifting sanctions, a comprehensive ceasefire on all fronts (including Lebanon), and establishing a new control mechanism for the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran has blocked almost all non-Iranian vessels in the Persian Gulf for over two months, and the U.S. also imposed an anti-blockade on vessels departing from Iranian ports last month.
An unnamed senior Iranian official stated that Tehran believes the latest proposal, which defers nuclear negotiations to a later stage, is a significant change aimed at facilitating an agreement.
According to this proposal, the war would end with guarantees from the U.S. and Israel not to launch further attacks. Iran would open the Strait of Hormuz, and the U.S. would lift its blockade on Iran.
Subsequently, negotiations would begin on conditions for limiting Iran's nuclear program in exchange for lifting sanctions. Iran demands that the U.S. recognize its right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes, even if Iran agrees to suspend its nuclear program.
The official stated: "Under this framework, the more complex nuclear issues have been moved to the final stage to create a better atmosphere." (Compiled by Qu Xiangping) 1150503
