Washington, USA — The ceasefire between the United States and Iran remains in effect.
This comes after United States President Donald Trump said the mediator, Pakistan, approached him to continue peace talks following failure to reach an agreement.
Unlike the earlier two-week truce, the current ceasefire has no set end date.
According to Trump, it will remain in place until Tehran submits a unified proposal or until discussions are concluded one way or another.
However, due to lingering distrust, some Iranian officials had earlier expressed reluctance to return to the negotiating table.
And now, Trump provided a new update on Iran’s situation.
In a post on Truth Social, the US President claimed that Tehran had conveyed that the country is now in a “state of collapse.”
He added that Iran is also reportedly requesting the reopening of the key energy route, the Strait of Hormuz, as soon as possible.
It can be recalled that Iran controls the strait and had imposed restrictions on maritime traffic in response to the joint US-Israel airstrike on February 28.
Despite the ceasefire, Washington’s blockade of vessels passing through the route remains in place.
Trump also suggested that Iran face internal leadership challenges, though he did not provide details.
There has been no confirmation on the accuracy of these claims.
This statement coincides with Tehran’s submission of a new proposal, despite its earlier hesitation on peace negotiations.
Based on reports, the proposal prioritizes ending the war and securing guarantees that hostilities will not resume.
It also seeks to address issues surrounding the closure and blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
However, discussions on other matters, particularly Iran’s nuclear enrichment program, would be deferred until progress is made on these initial concerns.
According to international reports, Trump was not pleased with the proposal, insisting that nuclear issues should be included from the outset of negotiations.
