Iran's distrust of the United States has deepened following President Donald Trump's return of a revised peace proposal aimed at resolving ongoing conflicts, including Iran's nuclear program and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the Iranian parliament speaker, stated that any agreement must uphold the rights of the Iranian people. Trump’s tougher framework reportedly focuses on preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons, a point of contention as Iran insists its nuclear program is purely civilian. The negotiations come amid a backdrop of military strikes, with Iran demanding the release of US$12 billion in frozen assets before engaging in meaningful discussions. Despite a temporary ceasefire, tensions remain high, illustrated by Iran's Revolutionary Guards shooting down a US drone. Additionally, the UN Security Council will convene to address the escalating violence in Lebanon, which Iran insists must be part of any peace agreement.
