US President Donald Trump has rejected Iran's response to a US peace proposal aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict in the Gulf, calling it 'totally unacceptable.' This dismissal highlights the continued deadlock in negotiations, which have slowed amid ongoing military exchanges in the Persian Gulf. Despite a temporary ceasefire over a month ago, tensions remain high, particularly as Iran restricts shipping through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil transit route. US officials emphasize the need for restoring free maritime traffic and halting Iran's nuclear ambitions. Energy Secretary Chris Wright stated that a resolution would lead to lower energy prices. In contrast, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused the US of undermining diplomatic efforts, claiming that the US opts for military action whenever a diplomatic solution is possible. The standoff continues to pose risks to global energy security and regional stability, with the US maintaining a naval blockade targeting Iran's oil exports.
