Washington, D.C. — President Donald Trump said Saturday that the United States could resume military strikes against Iran, signaling continued uncertainty as tensions disrupt global energy markets.
Speaking after receiving a proposal from Iran through Pakistani intermediaries, Trump rejected the offer and warned that further military action remains possible if Iran “misbehaves.” The proposal reportedly called for delaying nuclear negotiations while focusing on sanctions relief and reopening key shipping routes.
The standoff has centered on the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passage for global oil shipments. Iran’s blockade has significantly reduced traffic through the strait for more than two months, contributing to rising fuel prices and concerns over supply stability.
Trump said a broader agreement remains uncertain, while also suggesting that ongoing military authority does not require immediate congressional approval. The administration has argued that the timeline for authorization paused during a ceasefire period.
The geopolitical tension comes as economic pressure builds at home, with higher energy prices becoming a growing concern for consumers and policymakers alike. Analysts note that prolonged disruption in the region could continue to impact global markets and complicate diplomatic efforts.
With negotiations stalled and military options still on the table, the situation remains fluid as both sides weigh next steps.
