US President Donald Trump held a high-level meeting with his national security team to review a new peace proposal from Iran, according to the White House. The discussion took place in the Situation Room, the secure intelligence hub inside the West Wing.

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said during a press briefing that Iran’s proposal includes reopening the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. However, she made it clear that President Trump’s red lines remain firm, stressing that the United States will not accept any agreement that allows Iran to develop nuclear weapons.

Sources indicate that the proposal was conveyed to Washington through Pakistani channels. Iran’s offer reportedly prioritizes ending the ongoing conflict, followed by a demand for guarantees that no further attacks will take place. As part of a phased plan, Tehran has suggested reopening the Strait of Hormuz if the US lifts its naval blockade in Iranian waters.

The proposal also includes a condition to resume talks on the nuclear issue, with Iran seeking recognition of its right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes. However, US officials remain cautious, emphasizing strict limits on nuclear activity.

In a media interview, President Trump said Iran is free to initiate direct communication, adding that “they know what a deal should look like.” He reiterated that without abandoning nuclear ambitions, meaningful negotiations would not be possible.

Analysts say the coming days will be crucial in determining whether diplomacy can ease tensions or if the standoff will deepen.
