U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed a truce to end the two-month conflict with Iran, but Tehran remains dismissive of deadlines.

U.S. President Donald Trump has formally proposed a truce to Iran to end over two months of hostilities. The Iranian Foreign Ministry has responded by ignoring the U.S.-imposed deadline, signaling that they are not interested in adhering to such timelines. Tensions remain high, particularly in the Strait of Hormuz, which has seen an increase in fighting. Middle East analyst Mehrzad Boroujerdi provides an expert perspective on the current geopolitical stalemate, noting that both sides are reluctant to escalate to a 'hot' conflict but are locked in a difficult negotiation process.
