Tehran awaits US response to its proposal amid continued tension over Hormuz

Developments in the Iranian-American file continue, as Tehran awaits a US response to its proposal amid ongoing tension over the Strait of Hormuz. Diplomatic efforts to resume negotiations between the two countries continue, but they are stalling due to both sides' adherence to their positions and conditions, and the continued dispute over the naval blockade and the Strait of Hormuz. In this context, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that it continues to work to ensure the Strait of Hormuz remains open for commercial shipping, while the New York Times quoted officials saying Washington failed to persuade neighboring countries to close their borders with Iran. International mediators are attempting to create conditions for resuming talks through confidence-building proposals that include reducing the US military presence in the region and easing the naval blockade on Iranian ports, in exchange for Tehran facilitating the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz. The Wall Street Journal reported that US President Donald Trump is considering reassigning the negotiation file to his Vice President JD Vance, with the possibility of a direct meeting with Iranian officials. In response, Washington continues to insist on the blockade and tighten sanctions, without announcing an official position on Iranian conditions. In statements quoted by Fox News from the White House, the US administration affirmed that Washington's position is strong and that it controls the Strait of Hormuz, indicating the naval blockade continues in full effect, and considering that the Iranian economy is facing collapse.
