US official claims Trump unhappy with Iran’s new proposal
Donald Trump is reportedly unhappy with a fresh proposal presented by Iran regarding the ongoing conflict and nuclear negotiations, according to a US official familiar with the matter. The disagreement highlights widening tensions between Washington and Tehran as diplomatic efforts to end the war continue.
US officials claim that Iran’s latest proposal suggests postponing discussions on its nuclear program until the war ends and disputes involving Gulf maritime routes are resolved. However, the US administration insists that the nuclear issue must be included from the very beginning of negotiations.
The White House stated that the United States remains firm on its “red lines” and will not negotiate sensitive matters publicly through the media. Officials added that the Trump administration has been attempting to secure an end to the conflict since February, but major disagreements still remain unresolved.

Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is continuing diplomatic visits across the region, including trips to Pakistan, Oman, and Russia, in an effort to push for a diplomatic solution. Despite ongoing talks, both countries continue to hold sharply different positions on key issues.
The ongoing conflict is also disrupting global oil supplies, particularly around the strategically critical Strait of Hormuz, where maritime traffic has reportedly declined sharply. Shipping data indicates that daily vessel movement through the region has fallen significantly compared to previous levels, severely affecting oil transportation to international markets.
According to reports, several Iranian oil tankers were forced to turn back due to the US naval blockade. Iranian authorities have publicly described these actions as “maritime piracy,” escalating tensions further between the two sides.
Analysts warn that the continued deadlock could push global oil prices even higher in the coming weeks, increasing pressure on international markets already facing supply concerns. At the same time, President Trump is reportedly facing growing domestic pressure within the United States to bring the conflict to an end and stabilize global energy markets.
