On Monday, US President Donald Trump convened his national security team to discuss Iran's latest proposal to reopen the Hormuz Strait, a key maritime passage for 20% of the world's oil supply. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt stated that the discussions were ongoing and that Trump would address the topic soon. Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that while Iranian negotiators are serious about reaching a deal, they face significant internal disagreements that hinder the negotiation process. He noted that the Iranian regime is deeply fractured, with hardliners motivated by theology holding ultimate power. This internal division complicates the ability of Iranian negotiators to reach a consensus, making it difficult for them to offer meaningful concessions. The US administration continues to maintain a favorable stance on its naval blockade of Iran's ports, which is seen as a strategic leverage point in these discussions.
