Trump discussed new Iran proposal with national security aides on Monday, White House says

WASHINGTON: US President Donald ​Trump discussed a new Iranian proposal ‌on resolving the war with Tehran with his top national security aides on ​Monday, White House press secretary ​Karoline Leavitt told reporters.

Answering questions at ⁠a briefing, Leavitt did not offer ​an opinion of the proposal, in ​which the Strait of Hormuz would be opened and Iran’s nuclear program discussed at ​a later date. But she said ​Trump’s bottom line demands remain the same.

Trump ‌wants ⁠the Strait of Hormuz oil transit waterway to be open and for Iran to hand over its enriched ​uranium.

“I wouldn’t ​say ⁠they’re considering it. I would just say that there ​was a discussion this morning ​that ⁠I don’t want to get ahead of, and you’ll hear directly from ⁠the ​president, I’m sure, on ​this topic,” she said.
