Iran war update: April 27
- Iran has proposed a new deal to suspend its terrorism in the Strait of Hormuz and negotiate over its nuclear program separately, according to Axios. The United States has so far insisted that any deal must involve not only its nuclear program but its complete dismantling.
- Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf, speaker of Iran’s parliament, was forced to resign as lead negotiator with the U.S., according to Iran International, apparently because Ghalibaf’s team offered nuclear concessions without authorization.
- President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social today that while his predecessors’ work with Iran “was a guaranteed road to a nuclear weapon,” this “will not, and cannot, happen with the deal we’re working on.”
- Giving up its nuclear weapons program seems to be Iran’s red line. The world now watches to see if the U.S. will erase its own red lines, again.
