The diplomatic efforts come as both sides maintain firm positions in stalled negotiations over Iran's nuclear program and control of the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi blamed excessive U.S. demands for the breakdown in previous talks, while President Donald Trump insisted that 'we have all the cards.' The impasse has significant global consequences as Iran's closure of the strait and a U.S. naval blockade continue to disrupt oil supplies.
Experts estimate Iran has about 20 days of storage capacity remaining for its oil production, while countries worldwide are seeking alternative energy sources due to soaring prices. The closure has also put pressure on Trump's Gulf allies, which use the waterway to export their oil and gas. According to Al Jazeera, dozens of countries have called for the 'urgent and unimpeded reopening' of the Strait of Hormuz. United Nations chief Antonio Guterres warned that the standoff could trigger a global food emergency, highlighting that about 20 percent of global oil and natural gas supplies pass through the strait.
Araghchi met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in St Petersburg on Monday as diplomatic efforts between Iran and the United States appeared to collapse. This meeting raises concerns about Russia's role in assisting Iran, potentially influencing the conflict through intelligence sharing or other forms of support. According to Fox News, Putin voiced strong support for Iran in its war with the U.S. and Israel during the meeting.
US President Donald Trump met with top security advisers on Monday to discuss the Iranian proposal, the White House confirmed. However, according to media reports, the US response has been largely dismissive. According to Reuters, an unnamed US official said President Trump was unhappy with the proposal because it did not include provisions for Iran’s nuclear programme. The official noted that “he doesn’t love the proposal.”
