Iran said it received a U.S. response to its proposal to revive an interim ceasefire agreement after President Donald Trump said he had rejected the offer. The proposal would have the United States lift its blockade of Iranian ports and Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days. Iranian officials have not disclosed the response’s contents, while an official briefed on the talks said the sides broadly agree on required steps but disagree over their sequence. Qatar mediated proximity talks between U.S. and Iranian envoys in New York, and the response was conveyed to Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi in Doha. The United States also completed the withdrawal of its last troops from Iraq under a plan agreed in 2024, a move Iran and allied armed groups portrayed as a defeat for Washington. The conflict has disrupted oil, refined-product and gas flows through the Strait, with two ships reportedly hit by projectiles. Iran’s economy remains under severe pressure, with the rial exceeding 2.5 million per dollar, medicine prices surging and new U.S. sanctions targeting 10 people and entities linked to Iran’s military supply chain. Iran also executed two men over violence during January protests in Mashhad.
