Tehran has offered a new deal to the U.S. in order to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and bring an end to the war in Iran.

The new deal, sent via Pakistani mediators, would postpone nuclear negotiations to a later stage, according to officials.

In the nearer term, the deal would see Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the U.S. ending its blockade on Iranian ports.

The absence of any nuclear concession is a critical one, given President Donald Trump's insistence that preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon is the single most important point for the U.S. in negotiations.

“We have all the cards. If they want to talk, they can come to us, or they can call us,” Trump told Fox News on Sunday.

Hakeem Jeffries lashes out at Trump over gas prices, condemns 'war of choice' in Iran

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries blasted President Donald Trump's "war of choice" against Iran on Monday.

"The Strait of Hormuz is closed, gas prices are soaring and billions of taxpayer dollars have been wasted," Jeffries wrote in a post on X.

"How is this reckless war of choice working out for the American people?" he added.

Putin pledges support for Iran in talks with Araghchi in Russia, says he wants peace soon

Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in St. Petersburg on Monday and told him he hoped the Iranian people would weather what he described as a "difficult period" and that peace would soon prevail.

Russia has offered to mediate to try to help restore calm to the Middle East following US and Israeli strikes on Iran, which Moscow has condemned. It has also repeatedly offered to store Iran's enriched uranium as a way of defusing tensions, an offer the United States has not taken up.

“For our part, we will do everything that serves your interests and the interests of all the peoples of the region to ensure that peace is achieved as quickly as possible,” Putin told Araghchi, according to Russian state media..........

They sure are.  That is evident and Trump giving them extensions is now problematic.  The WPA is up this Wednesday.  While there has been reported 'activity' of our troops, I'm not quite sure whether or not they are exiting the area or building up manpower in the area.

Iran wants nothing but confrontation.

All the mullahs, ayatollahs, and IRGC need to be suffer unlucky accidents courtesy of the CIA.  It would be a shame if Iran has the same balcony safety deficiencies as Putin's Russia.

Leavitt says Trump met with top officials to discuss Iran's latest offer

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that President Donald Trump met with top administration officials to discuss Iran's latest peace proposal on Monday.

Reporters asked Leavitt whether Trump considered accepting Iran's latest offer.

"Well, only because it's been reported, I will confirm the president has met with his national security team this morning. The meeting may be ongoing. Maybe not. I don't want to speak, affirmatively because I was prepping to come out here, but the proposal was being discussed. I don't want to get ahead of the president or his national security team. What I will reiterate is that the president's red lines with respect to Iran have been made very, very clear, not just to the American public," Leavitt said during Monday's press briefing.

"I wouldn't say they're considering it. I would just say that there was a discussion this morning that I don't want to get ahead of. And you'll hear directly from the president, I'm sure, on this topic very soon.

Iran’s foreign minister met with Russian President Vladimir Putin Monday as U.S.–Iran negotiations appeared to collapse, raising the risk of further escalation in the Strait of Hormuz — a critical global oil choke point.

Abbas Araghchi arrived in Moscow for talks with Putin as diplomatic efforts to end the conflict between Iran and Washington remain stalled.

"We see how courageously and heroically the people of Iran are fighting for their independence, for their sovereignty," Putin said at the meeting in St. Petersburg, according to Russian state news agencies.

"The significance of this conversation is hard to overestimate in terms of how the situation around Iran and in the Middle East is developing," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters earlier.

The visit comes just days after Araghchi held talks with Pakistani mediators, where he said Iran had shared its position on ending the war but questioned whether the U.S. was "truly serious about diplomacy."

President Donald Trump has pushed back sharply on that characterization, signaling Washington believes it holds the advantage.

The meeting comes at a pivotal moment, as tensions at sea intensify and scrutiny grows over Russia’s role following reports Moscow may have shared intelligence with Tehran during the conflict.

War Secretary Pete Hegseth warned in March that Russia "should not be involved" in the escalating war, as reports emerged suggesting Moscow may be providing intelligence to Iran on U.S. military positions in the region.

U.S. officials say they are closely tracking any potential intelligence-sharing between Russia and Iran, while downplaying the confirmed operational impact. Still, the possibility of Russian support — whether through intelligence, technology transfers or other assistance — has raised concerns that Moscow could indirectly influence the battlefield without committing forces.

This is an excerpt from an article by Fox News' Morgan Phillips.

Let’s review, shall we?  The IRGC said if we stopped bombing, they would open up the strait.  So we did.  We stopped bombing.  Yet they didn’t open up the strait.  So, we blockaded their ports.

Now they say that if we stop blockading their ports, they’ll reopen the strait.

First takeaway:  their word is worthless.  They are liars and will lie even if telling the truth is better.

Second takeaway:  They don’t want to be bombed, and they want their ports opened.  So start bombing again and don’t let up on the blockade.

That latest offer from Iran is like raiding a liquor warehouse during Prohibition, and not destroying the booze and not arresting the rum runners.

Yeah, let's leave the nukes to another day ... after Iran has the capability to deliver atomic or dirty bombs long-range via ballistic missiles.

In light of what he's doing in Iran for that matter!  He's helping the IRGC to continue crushing any dissent there, too.  This in direct contradiction to what he's quoted as saying!

You're darn tootin' that "offer" is unacceptable, on many levels!  Iran gets control over who passes through and they get to charge a toll, to name just one item.  The issue of Nukes would be discussed "later," with the presumption they're keeping everything they have as a starting point, with more enrichment over the coming years!

This isn't the least bit acceptable, a total non-starter.  An insult to even offer it up!

The regime in Iran is heading towards a gasoline crisis of its own making.
@FDD @miadmaleki brings the numbers.

Reminder: gasoline sparked the deadly 2019 protests.

Quote
Miad Maleki
@miadmaleki · 8h

Everyone's focused on Iran's crude oil export/extraction disruptions. But there is another real domestic crisis: gasoline.  Pre war, Iran was burning through 126 million liters of fuel per day while producing only ~110 million liters domestically. That 15-20M liter/day gap was being covered by imports costing ~$6 billion a year.

1/6 On March 7, strikes hit oil storage depots in Tehran and Alborz Province. ~30 tanks hit in southern Tehran alone. The immediate response: per-fill limits in Tehran cut from 30 liters to 20 liters overnight. Stations reported running dry. Citizens described it as "سهمیه‌بندی خاموش" or "silent rationing."

I'm sorry....  after being told that Iran's nuclear capabilities were "obliterated" last year (POTUS words), I am pretty skeptical about what anyone says, including both sides of the aisle.

As part of the "Economic Fury" campaign, the U.S. Treasury @USTreasury (OFAC) has designated 35 individuals and entities facilitating Iran’s shadow banking architecture. These "rahbar" networks move tens of billions of dollars for the IRGC and the Iranian regime to fund illicit oil sales and weapons procurement.

The "Rahbar" Network System
Sanctioned Iranian banks use private "rahbar" companies to manage thousands of overseas shell entities. Today's action targets the primary rahbars for major Iranian financial institutions:

Shahr Bank: Farab Soroush Afagh Qeshm Company (FSAQ)

Bank Sepah: Rahbar Tejari Setareh Taban Kish Company

Bank Mellat: Tejarat Sarir Afrooz Kish Company

Bank Sina: Aku Tejarat Ravizh Kish Company

Parsian Bank: Naghsh Simorgh Sahand LLC

Eghtesad Novin Bank: Khavar Tejarat Arka Kish Company

Tourism Bank: Karmaniya Tejarat Asar Kish Company

Individual & Shell Company Targets:
Janelyn Eusebio Emperador (Filipino National): Owner of UK-based front companies Shuqun LTD, Sanovo LTD, and Qianza LTD, which processed over $70M for Iranian crude oil.

Sorayya Mehri Hajibaba & Seyyed Mohammed Mehdi Al Ghafur: Shadow banking officials facilitating money laundering for Shahr Bank.

Hossein Yaghoobi: Chairman of FSAQ and former Central Bank of Iran official.

Bank Melli / Nikan Pezhvak Network
Treasury designated several front companies operating under the Nikan Pezhvak network:

Fratello Carbone Trading Limited

RQI Commodity HK Limited

Gasolix International Corporation Limited

Globenture Limited / Redwing Global Limited

Nooseb Trade Limited

Strait of Hormuz "Tolls":
OFAC has issued formal guidance (FAQ 1249) stating that making "toll" payments to the Regime of Iran or the IRGC for passage through the Strait of Hormuz creates significant sanctions risk for both U.S. and non-U.S. persons.

Europe has a big, and growing problem.

It can 100% be fixed, but it requires a level of willpower and drive to do drastic things. Things that today's weak EU leaders don't have the stomach for.

Iran has used the ceasefire including to intelligence reports to redeploy and unbury many of its drone and missile capability and spread them round the country ready for a continuation of mass strikes.
