US President Donald Trump is reportedly dissatisfied with Iran’s latest peace proposal aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ending the US naval blockade on Iranian ports, according to multiple White House sources.
The proposal, delivered to Washington in recent days, was reviewed during a high level meeting in the White House Situation Room with top national security officials. Among those present was Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who indicated that the president is unlikely to accept the terms in their current form.
At the heart of the disagreement is Iran’s suggestion to postpone discussions about its nuclear program to a later stage. US officials view this as a major sticking point, as Trump has consistently maintained that any agreement must guarantee Iran cannot develop nuclear weapons under any circumstances.
Rubio acknowledged that the proposal was more constructive than initially expected but warned that accepting it could undermine Trump’s long standing position. The president has repeatedly emphasized that any deal must be negotiated strictly on US terms and within his preferred timeline.
Trump has also made clear that there is no urgency from Washington’s perspective. He stated that there is no fixed deadline for ending the conflict involving the United States and Israel against Iran, and no immediate pressure to conclude ongoing ceasefire arrangements or revive stalled negotiations.
The continued deadlock highlights deep divisions between the two sides, particularly over nuclear safeguards and regional security. While the proposal signals a willingness by Tehran to engage diplomatically, the lack of agreement on key issues suggests that a comprehensive resolution remains distant.
As tensions persist, the future of the Strait of Hormuz and broader Middle East ility s in the balance, with global economic and security implications tied closely to the outcome of these negotiations.
