US President Donald Trump recently addressed questions regarding potential military strikes on Iran amid stalled negotiations. After Iran sent a new proposal through mediators in Pakistan, Trump expressed dissatisfaction with its content but did not detail specific concerns. He emphasized his preference for diplomacy, stating, "on a human basis, I prefer not" to escalate military actions. Trump's comments came as Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, indicated a willingness to continue negotiations if the US alters its approach. The proposal includes discussions on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a vital passage for global oil and gas shipments. Meanwhile, Iran has heightened its military readiness, activating air defenses in response to perceived threats of US or Israeli strikes. The ongoing tension reflects a complex geopolitical landscape, with both nations waiting for the other to make concessions.
