Waiting Game: World Awaits Trump Decision On Negotiated Framework
Mohsen Rezaei said Trump is undermining ceasefire talks by keeping pressure on Iran as negotiators weigh a 60-day truce extension.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump met with aides in the White House Situation Room to weigh a proposal extending the ceasefire by 60 days and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
- Initiated three months ago by the US and Israel, the conflict forced Iran to close the strategic waterway, causing an estimated 7,000 deaths and major global energy disruptions.
- Mohsen Rezaei, an adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, accused Trump of "betraying diplomacy for the third time" by maintaining the naval blockade and pushing excessive demands.
- Denying reports of a finalized ceasefire, Foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei stated on Saturday that Tehran remains focused on ending the war rather than discussing nuclear details.
- Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth warned the US is "more than capable" of resuming military strikes if diplomacy fails, while Kazakhstan offered to store Iran's uranium stockpile if a nuclear agreement is reached.

Waiting Game: World Awaits Trump Decision On Negotiated Framework
The world continues to await US President Donald Trump’s reaction to a proposed framework to extend the current cease-fire with Iran, even as threats to resume US air strikes and American naval forces’ interdiction actions in the Persian Gulf region persist.
US and Iranian negotiators reportedly agreed on a framework deal that would extend the ceasefire by 60 days and lead to the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump promised a final decision on Friday, but that has not happened. In addition to the oil price shock, he has good reason to downplay the US and Iranian strikes that have been carried out despite the ceasefire.
