PANews reported on April 28th, citing the Wall Street Journal, that US officials stated that President Trump and his national security team are skeptical of a recent proposal for a deal with Iran. Under this proposal, Iran would ensure the Strait of Hormuz remains open and suspend discussions regarding its nuclear program. Trump discussed the proposal with aides Monday morning local time. Officials stated that while Trump did not outright reject it, he expressed doubts about Iran's sincerity and willingness to meet his key demands. Trump's key demands are: Iran halting its nuclear enrichment activities and promising never to develop nuclear weapons. These officials indicated that the US will continue negotiations with Iran, and the White House may respond with counter-proposals in the coming days.
