Trump discusses new Iran proposal with national security aides: White House

WASHINGTON: (Web Desk) – The White House has confirmed that an Iranian proposal is currently under review and that President Donald Trump has been consulted on the matter. Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told reporters that the President met with his national security team to discuss the proposal earlier in the day.

According to reports, Iran has sent a proposal to the United States suggesting the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to the ongoing conflict, while deferring detailed nuclear negotiations to a later stage. The Strait is a key global shipping route, especially for oil transport.

Leavitt reiterated that President Trump’s position remains firm, stating that Iran must never obtain a nuclear weapon and that US red lines have been made “very clear.”

She also referenced recent security concerns involving the President, noting that the Secret Service has performed its duties effectively during recent incidents, and emphasized continued confidence in federal protection agencies. (Earlier claims circulating about repeated assassination incidents were not independently verified in official statements.)

Separately, the news outlet Axios, citing US officials and informed sources, reported that Iran’s latest proposal includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz and easing tensions, while postponing nuclear talks to a later phase.

President Trump, in a recent interview with Fox News, suggested maintaining strong maritime pressure and blockades, arguing that sustained economic and strategic pressure could influence Tehran’s decisions in the coming weeks.
