New Delhi: US President Donald Trump is personally reviewing a new peace proposal sent by Iran to end the ongoing war with Israel and the United States.

According to reports, Iran has offered to stop the fighting and reopen the Strait of Hormuz — a vital sea route for global oil supply. However, Iran wants to delay any talks on its nuclear program until later.

The White House confirmed that Trump met with his national security team on Monday to discuss the plan, which was shared through mediators in Pakistan. Sources say Trump is not fully satisfied because the proposal does not address Iran’s nuclear activities immediately.⁠Al Jazeera

UN Urges Immediate Action

The United Nations has strongly called for the Strait of Hormuz to be reopened without delay. UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned that the continued closure risks causing a global food and energy crisis. Many countries have also joined the appeal for free shipping through the strait.⁠Bhaskarenglish

Why is the Strait of Hormuz Important?

• It is a narrow waterway between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula.
• About one-fifth of the world’s oil passes through it every day.
• Iran had restricted shipping during the conflict, while the US has maintained a blockade on Iranian ports.

The closure has led to higher oil prices and supply problems worldwide. Both sides remain cautious, and talks are continuing.

This development comes as the US-Israel-Iran conflict enters its fifth week. The world is watching closely to see if this peace plan can bring an end to the fighting and restore normal oil trade.
