The US was waiting on Iran’s response to its latest proposal to end the war after suggesting word could come imminently, following clashes in the Strait of Hormuz that strained a month-long ceasefire.
Iran has still given no indication whether it will accept President Donald Trump’s plan, sent on Wednesday, which proposes that the Islamic Republic reopen the waterway and the US end a blockade on Iranian ports over the next month.
