The US is waiting on Iran to respond to its proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end a war that’s killed thousands of people, with tensions still high and Israel striking Lebanon’s capital on Wednesday.
Iran is expected to give an answer in the coming days. Its leaders are yet to indicate whether they’ll accept it, though they’ve previously shown little sign of yielding on their nuclear program and accepting a moratorium on enriching uranium, which the American proposal calls for.
