The United States and Iran are discussing a potential ceasefire linked to reopening the Strait of Hormuz, according to three U.S. officials, though prospects remain uncertain. Donald Trump said he would consider a ceasefire only if the strait reopens, while Tehran denied seeking talks. Masoud Pezeshkian signaled willingness to end the war if U.S. attacks stop and guarantees are provided. China and Pakistan proposed a similar framework, as diplomatic efforts continue alongside ongoing conflict.
