President Donald Trump is pursuing a diplomatic off-ramp from potential military conflict with Iran, with reports suggesting a possible US-Iran agreement is taking shape. A deal could ease pressure on global oil markets, but terms and timeline remain unconfirmed.
Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei called US demands in ongoing negotiations "unreasonable" and described Iran's proposal, including steps to unblock the Strait of Hormuz, as generous. The standoff keeps pressure on global oil markets, with Hormuz handling roughly 20% of daily world oil trade.
Iran has signaled it may offer assurances on the use of its nuclear facilities but will not destroy its uranium stockpile or allow it to be moved abroad. The stance limits the tools available to negotiators seeking to reduce Iran's nuclear breakout capability.
Iran has not formally responded to the latest US ceasefire proposal, with officials on both sides indicating a large gap remains between their positions. The stalled talks keep uncertainty high over sanctions, oil supply, and regional stability.
Iran submitted a 14-point peace proposal to mediator Pakistan that reportedly sets a one-month deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the US naval blockade.
President Donald Trump said he is not satisfied with Iran's latest peace proposal and raised the possibility of military action against the country. The threat adds fresh uncertainty to Gulf oil supply routes and regional stability.
Iran has proposed opening the Strait of Hormuz and ending U.S. sanctions while deferring nuclear talks, but President Trump has rejected the offer so far. Trump is said to prefer a non-military resolution, keeping diplomatic channels open despite the impasse.
Brent crude hit $120 a barrel Thursday as U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil exports tightened and nuclear negotiations stalled. Sustained supply disruption from Iran, a major producer, is driving the rally. Markets are watching whether diplomacy restarts or sanctions enforcement intensifies.
Trump says Putin told him he wants to be involved in settling the Iran nuclear enrichment dispute. A Russian role would add a significant new dimension to US-Iran negotiations. No format, timeline, or conditions for that involvement have been disclosed.
Iranian officials have offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if the US lifts its blockade and the ongoing war ends. The proposal also delays nuclear program negotiations to a later stage, decoupling the two issues. Any US response will be closely watched by global energy markets given the strait's role in oil
A U.S. official says President Trump is dissatisfied with an Iranian diplomatic proposal because it did not address Iran's nuclear program. The rejection signal raises doubts about near-term progress in U.S.-Iran negotiations. No timeline for further talks or a counter-proposal has been given.
Trump cancelled diplomatic travel to Islamabad and said Iran-US nuclear talks will shift to phone calls or Washington. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed after Iran's Revolutionary Guards ruled out lifting the blockade. The US military has now redirected 37 ships since the blockade began.
Trump cancelled a US envoy trip to Pakistan after Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi left the country early. The move signals a possible breakdown in indirect diplomacy between Washington and Tehran. Trump suggested future talks could happen by phone, posting publicly that Iran just needs to call.
Iran's deputy foreign minister said Saturday no date has been set for the next round of Iran-U.S. talks, conditioning further sessions on agreement of a preliminary framework. The announcement signals the negotiation timeline is more uncertain than recent diplomatic momentum implied, with consequences for sanctions
The US and Iran are set to hold a second round of direct talks on April 20 in Islamabad, with President Trump confirming the meeting is proceeding. The negotiations carry significant weight for regional security, sanctions dynamics, and energy markets sensitive to Middle East risk. Any framework or confidence-building
Iran rejected Donald Trump's assertion that Tehran agreed to hand over its enriched uranium stockpiles, creating a direct public contradiction during active nuclear negotiations. The dispute centers on the most consequential variable in any deal: the size and disposition of Iran's fissile material. The standoff raises
Pakistani Army Chief General Asim Munir visited Tehran to advance indirect nuclear negotiations between the US and Iran. Pakistani mediators told Al Jazeera they are cautiously hopeful about a breakthrough on Iran's nuclear programme. The visit underscores Pakistan's emerging role as a key backchannel conduit between W
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated Thursday that U.S. forces in the Middle East are positioned to resume combat operations if Iran refuses a peace deal. The public warning signals Washington is using military readiness as direct leverage in ongoing diplomatic negotiations with Tehran.
