Iran has set a one-month deadline for negotiations on a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, end a US naval blockade and permanently end the war in Iran and Lebanon, according to a report Saturday by Axios.
Tehran submitted a 14-point revised proposal to Washington on Thursday for a framework agreement.
Two sources briefed on the document said it lays out a strict one-month timeline to secure a deal covering maritime access, the end of the US naval blockade, and a lasting ceasefire on both fronts.
“If they misbehave, if they do something bad, but right now, we’ll see. It’s a possibility that could happen, certainly,” US President Donald Trump told reporters Saturday when asked whether he could order new strikes.
The proposal envisions a second phase only after an initial deal is sealed, launching an additional month of negotiations focused on the nuclear programme, according to the sources.
Although Trump said Friday he was dissatisfied with the Iranian proposal, he told reporters Saturday before leaving Palm Beach for Miami that he would review it during the flight.
