The negotiations for a peace plan to end it remain deadlocked. In his new statements, he said that he will study his proposal for ending the war, while for her part, she declares that “the ball is in their court” and that the Americans “must choose between war and diplomacy, we are ready for both scenarios”.
“Friendly” blockade of Tehran
At the same time, Trump called the naval blockade against Tehran “friendly”, saying that Iran has not yet paid the price “for what it has caused to humanity in the last 47 years”. In response to a journalist’s question, he even left open the possibility that “the US will resume attacks” against the country.

A resumption of war is possible
An Iranian armed forces official said yesterday that a resumption of war with the US is “likely”, as the only post-war round of talks between the two sides in Islamabad on April 11 was fruitless, as the gaps between them remain wide, from the Strait of Hormuz to the aspect of Iran’s nuclear energy programme.
In a related journalistic question to Trump in Florida, he answered “I don’t want to say that. I mean, I can’t tell a reporter. we will see. It’s a possibility, it could happen.”
Iran’s 14-point plan to end war in 30 days
According to Iranian news agencies, Tehran has conveyed to Washington, through Pakistan, a plan to end the war within 30 days.
According to Tasnim, Iran claims in this plan to withdraw US troops from areas near its territory, lift the blockade of Iranian ports, release frozen Iranian resources, pay reparations, lift sanctions, establish a “mechanism” for the Strait of Hormuz and declare “the end of war on all fronts, including Lebanon’.
The agency did not comment on the dossier on Tehran’s nuclear energy program. But this is a central issue for the US and Israel, which accuse Iran of seeking to acquire a nuclear arsenal – something the Iranian leadership has denied for decades.
Iranian diplomacy had already forwarded a new text to Pakistan earlier this week, without leaking any details.
Trump disagrees
Donald Trump said Friday that he was “not satisfied” with the proposal. And while he had already threatened to destroy Iran’s “civilization”, he added that he would prefer not to “pulverize” the Islamic Republic once and for all, restarting the war remains “an option”.
“The resumption of conflict between Iran and the US is possible, and events have shown that the US is not keeping any promises or agreements,” Mohammad Jafar Asadi, an official of the Hatam al-Anbiya command of the Iranian armed forces, commented yesterday, according to the FARS news agency.
“Ready” declares Tehran
Whether the war resumes or the path of diplomacy is chosen, Tehran is “ready” for any scenario and “the ball is in the court of the US”, said Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Garibabadi.
