Iran says Trump must choose between diplomacy and war

Iran said Sunday it is fully prepared for either renewed war or diplomacy, leaving the choice to President Trump as the seven-month conflict continues. Trump told Axios he expects talks to resume this week. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated Tehran is ready for both outcomes, while Trump rejected Iran's ceasefire proposal involving a phased reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. He insisted Iran is "losing badly" and wants a deal, though he called the offer unacceptable. British police arrested five men near RAF Fairford, a U.S.-used base, on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act, with Iranian links under investigation. Senator John Kennedy called Iran's proposal "not a serious offer" and warned of oil price impacts from the partially closed strait.
