Iran transmitted a new offer to resume negotiations with the United States on Thursday, April 30, while Donald Trump remains firm on his stance. The American president posed the question, “Do we want to pulverize them once and for all or do we want to try to reach an agreement?”
A state-run Iranian media announced on Friday, May 1, that a new offer to resume negotiations had been submitted by Iran to the United States. The Islamic Republic reportedly delivered its latest proposal to Pakistan, the mediator in discussions with the US, on Thursday evening, as communicated by IRNA. Trump responded, stating, “They want to reach an agreement, but I am not satisfied with the proposal. We will see. Do we want to obliterate them once and for all or do we want to try to reach an agreement? Those are the options.”
The question lingers: Will Donald Trump order new strikes on Iran and end the fragile ceasefire? The US government has hinted that it may disregard the obligation to seek authorization from Congress to continue the conflict, as the 60-day deadline imposed by the US Constitution expires today.
“We are currently in a ceasefire, which means from our perspective the 60-day clock is paused. That’s what we understand, for your information,” argued Pete Hegseth, the US Secretary of Defense, during a Senate hearing. This defense was rejected by the Democratic opposition. The Strait of Hormuz remains under the American blockade. Meanwhile, on his social media, Donald Trump shares photos generated by AI, claiming that the storm is coming.
