Iran-US war latest: Trump considers Tehran’s latest peace proposal as Germany warns he’s being ‘humiliated’
President Donald Trump has met with his national security team to discuss a proposal from Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the Middle East conflict.
The White House confirmed that no decision had yet been made, but multiple US media reports suggested Trump was unhappy with the proposal to decouple of the conflict from Iran’s nuclear programme and leave that issue to be discussed at a later date.
“The president’s red lines with respect to Iran have been made very clear, not just to the American public, but to them as well,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
Germany’s chancellor Friedrich Merz said the Iranian regime appeared to have the upper hand in the peace talks process, which has stalled after a summit hosted by Pakistan broke down.
“An entire nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership, especially by these so-called Revolutionary Guards. And so I hope that this ends as quickly as possible,” he said.
