US-Iran peace talks are at a standstill as President Trump rejected Iran's latest proposal to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's proposal, sent via Pakistani mediators, reportedly removed a condition for lifting the sea blockade and suggested postponing nuclear talks until a ceasefire.
