Trump Reviews Iran Peace Plan to Reopen Hormuz Strait After 60 Days of War
President Trump's national security team is reviewing a peace proposal from Iran aimed at ending the two-month US-Israel war against Iran and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The plan may delay nuclear talks to focus on stopping the current conflict first.
After 60 days of war between the US-Israel alliance and Iran, diplomatic efforts are picking up speed. Trump's national security advisors are now studying an Iranian peace proposal that would halt fighting and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway for oil shipments.
The peace plan appears to separate immediate war concerns from longer-term nuclear issues. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is involved in crafting the proposal, though details remain private.
This diplomatic push started after Trump sent a letter to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in April 2025, beginning formal negotiations. Trump had set a 60-day deadline for reaching an agreement, and that window is now closing.
Over the weekend, Trump said Iran could simply call if it wanted to negotiate. He also canceled a planned visit to Pakistan by his representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, suggesting the administration is focused on the Iran situation.
The current approach may push nuclear program discussions to a later stage, prioritizing an immediate end to hostilities and restoring normal shipping through Hormuz.
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical shipping lane for global oil supplies. If it stays closed, gas prices could keep rising. A peace deal could stabilize energy markets and prevent the conflict from spreading further across the Middle East.
Watch for Trump's response to Iran's peace proposal and whether the 60-day negotiation deadline gets extended.
