The Wall Street Journal reported, citing sources, that “Iran confirmed its readiness to negotiate at the beginning of the week, provided that Washington is open to the new proposal.” In details, the sources revealed that “the new Iranian proposal is a step closer to the American demands.” She explained, "Iran's proposal offers to discuss the conquest of Hormuz while obtaining guarantees to stop the attacks and lift the siege. It also offers to discuss the Iranian nuclear file later in exchange for easing US sanctions." For his part, US President Donald Trump announced that negotiations with Iran are continuing by phone, stressing that he is not sure that an agreement will be reached, and that he is not satisfied with the latest Iranian proposal. Trump pointed out that there are divisions and chaos within the Iranian leadership, considering that this hinders the progress of the talks. He added that Tehran has two options: reaching an agreement or facing harsh consequences, expecting a development regarding the Iranian file to occur within a day or two. He also pointed out that the naval blockade on Iran is strong, and that gasoline prices will fall with the end of the war, stressing that military operations will continue and that it does not require authorization from Congress.
