Donald Trump said Friday that the United States expects to receive Iran’s response “tonight” regarding a proposed agreement aimed at reducing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.
The comments come as diplomatic negotiations continue behind closed doors following weeks of military escalation and economic disruption across the Middle East.
Trump Awaits Iran’s Response
According to reports, the proposed framework would involve a temporary reduction in military activity and discussions focused on reopening key commercial shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump warned that if Iran refuses the proposal, military operations could intensify again in the coming days.
“We’ll find out soon enough,” Trump told reporters while discussing the ongoing negotiations.
Strait of Hormuz Remains Critical
The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most important oil shipping corridors, with global markets closely watching every development in the region.
Recent tensions involving naval activity, missile strikes, and commercial shipping disruptions have already impacted energy markets and increased fears of broader economic instability.
Analysts say any final decision from Tehran could immediately affect oil prices and global trade routes.
Global Attention on Middle East Negotiations
Diplomatic sources say mediators continue working to avoid another major escalation between Washington and Tehran.
Officials have not confirmed whether Iran is prepared to accept the current proposal, but international observers describe the next 24 hours as potentially critical for the future of the conflict.
The situation remains highly tense as military forces and global markets stay on alert awaiting Iran’s official response.
