US Awaits Iranian Response After Hormuz Clashes Strain Ceasefire

The US awaits Iran's response to President Donald Trump's proposal aimed at ending the 10-week war, which has caused thousands of deaths and soaring energy prices. The plan involves Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz and the US lifting its blockade on Iranian ports. Clashes in the strait, including US airstrikes on Iranian oil tankers, have strained a month-long ceasefire, prompting concerns about renewed hostilities and potential impacts on oil prices.
