- Trump said the United States is not satisfied with the current draft Iran deal and warned that strikes could resume if a satisfactory agreement is not reached.
- Iranian state TV aired a draft agreement that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and withdraw U.S. forces, a claim the White House called a complete fabrication.
- Marco Rubio said there has been some progress and interest in the negotiations and that the next few hours and days will determine whether a deal can be reached.
- Iran and the United States have largely observed the 8‑April ceasefire that followed the 28‑February U.S.–Israel strikes, but diplomatic talks have stalled in recent weeks.
Why it matters: U.S. may resume strikes if a deal is not reached, threatening oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz and keeping global energy markets volatile, while Iran loses leverage in negotiations.
