US-Iran Negotiations & Strait of Hormuz (Update 28 Mar 2026)
• Conflict began 28 Feb 2026 with US-Israel airstrikes on Iran.
• President Trump proposed 15-point plan: reopen the Strait of Hormuz as a “free maritime corridor,” limit Iran’s missile/nuclear programs, and halt support for proxy groups.
• Iran rejected some hardline points, demanding war reparations, control over Hormuz, and sanctions relief.
• Trump extended deadlines twice to avoid hitting Iran’s energy infrastructure: 48 hours → +5 days → +10 days until 6 Apr.
• Trump says negotiations are “progressing very well”; Iran allowed some oil tankers (e.g., Pakistan-flagged) through Hormuz as a goodwill gesture.
• VP JD Vance and envoy Steve Witkoff report progress while Trump warns Iran to negotiate “before it’s too late.”
Negotiation space remains narrow, but gestures like tankers passing Hormuz and extended deadlines show both sides are seeking to avoid direct escalation.
