Iran's deputy foreign minister, Kazem Gharibabadi, stated that the United States must decide between pursuing a diplomatic resolution or continuing hostilities, following President Donald Trump's rejection of an Iranian proposal. This proposal aimed to open the Strait of Hormuz and delay discussions on Iran's nuclear program. Trump expressed a preference for diplomacy over military action but is under pressure domestically due to rising gasoline prices linked to the conflict. The US and Israel have suspended their bombing campaign against Iran, yet a resolution remains elusive. Iran's proposal seeks to guarantee that neither the US nor Israel would attack again, allowing for future discussions on nuclear constraints in exchange for lifting sanctions. This situation has led to significant disruptions in global energy supplies, raising concerns about a potential economic downturn.
