Trump awaits Iranian reply
US President Donald Trump told French television on Saturday that he expects to hear “very soon” from Tehran regarding Washington's latest peace proposal, insisting that Iranian leaders remain eager to reach an agreement despite weeks of stalled negotiations. Speaking to LCI in a phone interview, Trump said the Iranians “still very much want to make a deal,” though he provided no specific timeline for a formal response.
War enters third month
Regional tensions have sharply escalated since the US and Israel launched military strikes against Iran on Feb. 28, prompting Iranian retaliation against Israeli and American assets in the Gulf and the subsequent closure of the Strait of Hormuz — a vital chokepoint for global energy shipments. The conflict has displaced thousands and disrupted maritime traffic through the strategic waterway.
Ceasefire extended indefinitely
A ceasefire took effect on April 8 through Pakistani mediation, though subsequent negotiations in Islamabad failed to produce a permanent agreement. Trump later announced an extension of the truce without setting a deadline, leaving the temporary halt in hostilities open-ended as diplomatic efforts continue.

The brief truce marking the 80th anniversary of Victory Day came as separate negotiations over Iran continue in parallel.
