US President Donald Trump warned onWednesday that Iran would face bombing “at a much higher level and intensity”if it rejects a proposed agreement linked to reopening the Strait ofHormuz.
Trump indicated that the “highlyeffective Blockade” around the strategic waterway could be lifted and the USoperation “Epic Fury” would come to an end if Tehran accepts the terms underdiscussion, allowing the strait to reopen “to ALL, including Iran.”
Iran continues to imposerestrictions on US- and Israeli-linked navigation for more than two months,disrupting a corridor that carries roughly a quarter of global seaborne oiltrade, in response to US-Israeli strikes. Washington later imposed similar limitson vessels departing Iranian ports.
Tensions escalated further afterTrump announced “Project Freedom” on May 3, a naval operation intended toescort stranded vessels through the Strait, before suspending the mission lessthan 48 hours later, citing requests from Pakistan and other countries as wellas progress in talks with Iranian representatives. Following the suspension,Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy said safe and stablepassage through the waterway had become possible after the removal of threatsposed by “aggressors.”
Earlier today, Axios reported,citing US officials, that Washington and Tehran are nearing a one-pagememorandum intended to halt the conflict. The United States expects Tehran’s response within 48 hours, accordingto the report, which said the framework includes suspending Iran’s uraniumenrichment activities, lifting US sanctions, releasing frozen Iranian funds,and removing navigation restrictions imposed by both sides in the strait.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesmanIsmail Baqaei said that the American offer "is still underconsideration by Iran,” and Tehran will convey its position to the Pakistaniside after completing its review and assessment.
