<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; color: #444; line-height: 1.5; margin-top: 8px;">On 11 May, President Trump dismissed Iran's response to a US proposal to end their ongoing armed conflict, calling the terms "totally unacceptable." According to CNN and CNBC, Tehran's counter-proposal demanded recognition of sovereignty over the blockaded Strait of Hormuz, compensation for war damages, the release of frozen Iranian assets, and the lifting of sanctions—terms Washington had earlier sought in exchange for limits on Iran's nuclear programme.</div>
