Iran presents new proposal to US for reopening Hormuz, ending war: Report

Iran offers a new proposal to the US to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war, postponing nuclear talks, according to a report.

"When you have vast amounts of oil pouring through your system ... if for any reason this line is closed ... what happens is that line explodes from within. - Donald Trump"

Washington, April 27

Iran has presented the United States with a new proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war, while postponing nuclear negotiations to a later stage, according to a report, which cited a US official and two sources familiar with the matter.

According to US media outlet Axios, the proposal aims to break the current stalemate in the negotiations and bypass the internal disagreements within the Iranian leadership over the scope of nuclear concessions it is willing to make.

"But lifting the blockade and ending the war would remove President Trump's leverage in any future talks to remove Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium and convince Tehran to suspend enrichment -- two primary war objectives for Trump," the report said.

Meanwhile, citing three US officials, the report further noted that the US President is expected to hold a Situation Room meeting on the conflict on Monday (local time) with his top national security and foreign policy team.

The sources told Axios that Trump's team would discuss the stalemate in the talks and potential next steps.

In an interview with Fox News on Sunday (local time), Trump signalled that he wants to continue the naval blockade to halt Iran's oil exports, with an aim that it will get Tehran to give up in the coming times.

"When you have vast amounts of oil pouring through your system ... if for any reason this line is closed because you can't put it into containers or ships ... what happens is that line explodes from within. ... They say they only have about three days before that happens," Trump was quoted as saying in the interview with Fox News by Axios.

This comes as tensions between the US and Iran deepened after the Islamabad talks ended without progress.

Honestly, why should the US get to dictate who buys oil from Iran? This is bullying of the highest order. India needs to maintain strategic autonomy and not get caught in these American games. Our energy security should not be held hostage to someone else's war objectives. 🇮🇳

Both sides are playing hardball. Iran wants sanctions relief without full nuclear surrender, Trump wants maximum pressure. But let's be real—the nuclear issue is too dangerous to leave unresolved. India should push for a balanced solution where Iran gets economy back but verifiable safeguards are in place. No more enrichment without oversight.

I find it ironic that Trump talks about oil 'exploding from within' but doesn't see how his naval blockade is literally strangling a nation. Iran has legitimate regional concerns too. The real question is: will India continue to buy Iranian oil secretly through backchannels, or will we bend to US pressure like last time? 🤔

From a neutral standpoint, Iran's proposal is a transparent attempt to split the US negotiating position—separate the strait issue from nuclear talks. But if the blockade ends, Trump loses all leverage on enrichment. Tehran is playing smart. I just hope India doesn't get caught in the middle with its Chabahar port investments at risk.

Respectfully, I think India should stay clear of this mess. We have our own border issues to worry about. Let the US and Iran figure out their nuclear dance. But yes, energy prices will skyrocket if Hormuz stays blocked—that's the part that directly affects every Indian household and our economy
