The state-run Islamic Republic News Agency reported on the latest response without giving any further details, and Tehran hasn’t yet given any public indication it would accept Donald Trump’s plan. The US president proposed that Iran permit passage through the Strait of Hormuz and Washington end its blockade on Iranian ports in the next month.
