Iran submits new peace proposal to the US, which signals rejection over nuclear terms

Iran proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the US lifting its naval blockade, while deferring negotiations on its nuclear program to a later date. Secretary of State Rubio and President Trump publicly signaled dissatisfaction with the proposal, with Trump saying Iran is 'figuring out its leadership.' The US-Israel war on Iran, which began February 28, is currently under an open-ended ceasefire.
