Iran has responded to a US peace proposal with a counter-offer demanding a permanent ceasefire, the withdrawal of US troops, and full sanctions relief. While Iran seeks to maintain control over the Strait of Hormuz, the negotiations occur amidst heightened financial pressure, including a significant US Treasury freeze of Iran-linked crypto assets.
