Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei has not yet addressed the latest proposals from the United States, which include a tougher stance on Iran's nuclear ambitions and the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Sources indicate that Khamenei has also not responded to a previous draft Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) agreed upon last week. This delay has provoked frustration from US President Donald Trump, who has reportedly intensified demands on Iran. Israeli officials are skeptical about Iran's willingness to accept these new terms, framing the situation as a high-stakes game of chicken between Tehran and Washington. Statements from Iranian officials, including top negotiator Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, suggest a rejection of Trump's approach, asserting that Iran secures concessions through military means rather than negotiations. Ghalibaf's comments reflect a broader sentiment within Iran that prioritizes military readiness over diplomatic dialogue. Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has engaged with Oman regarding the Strait of Hormuz, emphasizing Iran's commitment to regional cooperation.
