Former President Trump recently stated that the United States is weighing options for its approach to Iran, including the possibility of a military strike as early as Sunday or the pursuit of a new, comprehensive agreement. Speaking on Saturday, Trump indicated that the US might "finish the job" through military action or could instead achieve a "nice, big, beautiful agreement" with Tehran.

In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian placed blame on the United States for the failure of previous interim agreement talks. Pezeshkian reportedly called American negotiators "cowards" who "messed everything up," though he still emphasized Iran's commitment to seeking a deal.

Amidst these escalating tensions, Iran has denied reports suggesting it proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the US lifting its naval blockade. State media in Iran reportedly dismissed these claims as fabrications.
