Iran Proposes Deal to Reopen Strait of Hormuz – Trump Administration Unlikely to Accept Without Nuclear Concessions
Washington D.C., April 28, 2026 — Iran has made a new proposal to the United States aimed at reopening the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, according to multiple reports.
Under the offer, Iran would allow commercial shipping to resume through the strait if the U.S. lifts its naval blockade of Iranian ports and suspends threats of renewed military strikes. However, the proposal reportedly delays negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program to a later stage.
President Donald Trump held a meeting today in the White House Situation Room with his top national security team to discuss the Iranian proposal. Sources say Trump is dissatisfied with the offer and is unlikely to accept it without immediate and verifiable concessions on Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz — a critical chokepoint for global oil and gas shipments — has already caused significant disruptions. The United Nations has warned of a potential global food emergency if the waterway remains blocked for an extended period.
The standoff is part of the broader tensions following the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran earlier this year. Talks have been mediated through third parties, including Pakistan, but progress remains slow.
The Trump administration continues to maintain pressure, insisting that any final deal must fully address the nuclear issue and ensure long-term stability in the region.
