Trump says Iran is preparing a proposal as nuclear talks and Strait of Hormuz tensions grind on
President Donald Trump said Friday that Iran is preparing an offer designed to meet American demands, signaling a potential opening in negotiations that have been stalled by disputes over uranium enrichment, sanctions relief, and Tehran's naval posture in the Strait of Hormuz."They're making an offer and we'll have to see," Trump told Reuters in a phone interview.
The remark was brief but deliberate. It came after weeks of heightened tensions, U.S. military positioning in the region, Iranian accusations of economic warfare tied to shipping restrictions and sanctions enforcement, and a diplomatic back-and-forth over what any deal would actually require from Tehran.
The White House appears to see a window. Whether Iran walks through it on terms that protect American security interests is the question that matters.
The U.S. position has been consistent and firm.

U.S. officials have framed these demands as necessary to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon.
