Iran has responded to a U.S. peace proposal aimed at ending the conflict and reopening shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The reply was reportedly delivered through Pakistani mediators, but the content remains unclear. The situation is still fragile: drone incidents have been reported across parts of the Gulf, Israel continues to warn that the war is not over, and Washington is focused on securing maritime access while pushing Iran on its nuclear program. The stakes are global. A stable reopening of Hormuz could ease oil and gas pressure, while a breakdown could quickly trigger another energy shock, raise inflation risks, and pull the U.S., Iran, Israel, and Gulf states into a more dangerous phase.
