Former President Trump has suggested that a deal with Iran could be finalized "within a week," despite Iran's reluctance to accept key U.S. demands. The U.S. has called for Iran to suspend its nuclear program, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and ship enriched uranium to the U.S. Iran is currently reviewing a U.S. ceasefire proposal and plans to respond through mediators like Pakistan. While Trump claims recent talks with Iran have been positive, Iranian officials have criticized the U.S. proposal as unrealistic. Trump warned of potential military action if Iran rejects the deal, stating that even a spike in oil prices to $200 per barrel would justify such a conflict. U.S. gasoline prices have already reached their highest levels since 2022.
