US President Donald Trump stated on Saturday that he would review a new 14-point peace proposal from Iran but expressed doubts about its acceptability, citing Iran's past actions over the last 47 years. This skepticism comes as Iranian military official Mohammad Jafar Asadi indicated that renewed conflict with the United States is 'likely.' The proposal, reportedly sent to Pakistan as a mediator, aims to de-escalate tensions and secure the Strait of Hormuz, which is crucial for 20% of global oil and gas supplies. Trump also reiterated his stance against Iran obtaining nuclear weapons and mentioned the pressure he faces domestically regarding rising petrol prices ahead of the November midterm elections. Meanwhile, Iranian deputy foreign minister Kazem Gharibabadi stated that the US must choose between diplomacy and continued confrontation, indicating that Iran is ready for either path. Additionally, Trump confirmed plans to reduce US troop presence in Germany, reflecting ongoing tensions in transatlantic relations amid the conflict in West Asia.
